I'm having the same prolem. I want to sort movie titiles
alphabetically in Microsoft Excel, but movie titles that begin with
"the" are being sorted with the T's and I want them sorted as if the
title did not contain the "the". For instance I want the movie "The
Dirty Dozen" to be with movie titles beginning with D and not movie
titles beginning with T. Is there an way to do a sort such as this
without renaming the title without the "the" at the beginning??

You will have to create a "helper column" for sorting
