Using ALBUMARTISTSORT instead of ALBUMARTIST?

Is it possible to use the ALBUMARTISTSORT tag from ID3 or Vorbis tags instead of ALBUMARTIST for the album artist? I think this would be much more useful. For example, 90% of the album artists under "T" start with "The". "Beatles, The" would appear under "B".

It should already be doing that. I remove 'The' maually and store it in the DB as a sort name.

Really? When selecting the album artist category in a DLNA client (BubbleUPnP) the "normal" album artist names are shown: e.g. "James Newton Howard" under "J" instead of "Howard, james Newton" under "H" (see attached screenshots).

I do not read the sort tag. I only use the main one and then apply some code to make it 'sortable', mainly by removing 'the' and 'a'
