When sorting clent-side DataTables-enhanced tables by title, it's possible to
use a custom sorting algorithm to ignore articles, based on this configuration
in datatables-strings.inc:

var CONFIG_EXCLUDE_ARTICLES_FROM_SORT = _("a an the");

...and the "anti-the" sorting code in js/datatables.js. This doesn't work with
server-side DataTables implementations, which means that sorting by title on
the circulation and patron detail pages no longer works as well as it did
before those pages were redone with AJAX datatables.

I would like to see some kind of implementation which continued to enable the
user to define articles to exclude from sorting and would work at the database
level so that AJAX datatables could be correctly sorted.
