Upgrade StorageSorting and the definate article
Hi
I'm trying to create a style sheet for the University of Birmingham's recommended Harvard style (https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/as/libraryservices/icite/referencing/harvard/index.aspx).
A number of entries (eg UK statute, film and broadcasts and anonymous works) should be listed by title rather than author. I have adapted by 'author' macro to achieve this and my primary sort key for the bibliography is <key macro="author"/>.
Which all works fine except that the definite (and presumably indefinite - I haven't tested) articles are not ignored in sorting. For example "The Coventry blitz 'conspiracy'" is sorted as T, not as C.
Is there any way to persuade to ignore the 'the' and sort only on the main part of the title?

"The Coventry blitz 'conspiracy'"
to
"Coventry blitz 'conspiracy', The"
Not sure whether that cure is worse than the disease, though.
(Coventry blitz 'conspiracy', 1990)
and the Bibliography
Coventry blitz 'conspiracy', The. 1990. ....
I may be missing something, but in order to do that would I not have to place the title in the author field? Which in turn would mean when I come to use a different style, one that uses 'Anon.' instead of substituting the title, things wouldn't work.
