   I'm sorting my posts alphabetically by Title, like so:

   $posts = query_posts($query_string .
   '&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=-1');

   I'd like to exclude articles such as "the", "a", and "an" from the sorting criteria.

   Is there a way to do that?

   Thanks!

   I would suggest a combination of PHP conditional statements and filters.

   Thanks, but could you be more specific?

   The closest I could figure out would be using raw SQL (http://www.arraystudio.com/as-workshop/how-to-sort-mysql-results-ignoring-definite-and-indefinite-articles-the-a-an.html), but I'm not sure how I'd do that in conjunction with the wordpress API.
