This is now checked in MinimServer update 76.

This does not work for me.

tagOptions = Artist.ignore.sort={The }, AlbumArtist.ignore.sort={The }

Try to remove the blank after “The” -> {The} and not {The }

No difference

“have you restarted MinimServer since making these changes and have you restarted the control point? With some control points, changes on the server side are not picked up immediately by the control point and in such cases a control point restart can be helpful.”

If the restarts don't work (or a Reload in Lumin), could you tell us what index you're navigating, what you're expecting to see and what you are seeing (or even better a screenshot).

Of course it could be that you're expecting to see 'Artist, The' in the index.

Code:

tagOptions: Artist.ignore.sort={The}, AlbumArtist.ignore.sort={The}

results in the following index display:

Adele
The Beatles
Cat Stevens

Code:

tagOptions: Artist.ignore.index.sort={The}, AlbumArtist.ignore.index.sort={The}

will result in:

Adele
Beatles, The
Cat Stevens
