Is there a way to remove articles like "A/The/An" from alphabetic sort?

Topic summary

Request to modify the Shopify Expanse theme so alphabetic sort ignores leading articles “A,” “An,” and “The,” without changing how titles display.

Rationale: moving articles after a comma is undesirable for searchability and aesthetics. Current behavior places titles beginning with “A” first and pushes “The” titles toward the end.

Clarification: keep the alphabetic sort feature, but exclude these articles from the sort key. Example: “An Informed Faith” should sort under “I,” not “A.”

Reference: a collection URL was shared to illustrate the existing sort order.

Status: no solution or implementation details provided yet; the request remains open.

Definition: alphabetic sort means ordering items by the first letters of their titles.

I’d like to removed them from the sort so the title “An Informed Faith” comes up under I rather than A. I want to keep the sort function on the site; just like to improve it.
