The MMW implementation is:

[x] Ignore prefixes: __the___ when sorting by _Artist, Album Artist, Album_ [Choose...]

In other words, it allows for multiple prefixes (e.g. the, a, and other words for other languages) AND it allows the user to choose which fields to apply this to.

This approach would make sense for MMA, but in the short term, we may want to just use the same approach as MMW's default settings (as shown above).
