How about this :

You enter your artists as you should :
The Rolling Stones
The Doors
The Police

Then in another field in emplode you put a number, for demonstration purposes we'll use the number 5.
In the above examples, R, D and P are the 5th characters in the artist name.
So the sorting will start there instead of the default 1 in that field to allow sorting from the first character.
This would also allow you to enter the number 6 so Dave Matthews Band can appear in the M's
Or a 7 so Billy Joel appears in the J's

I don't know how this might be implemented, 
but maybe someone can take my idea a little further...

anyone ?
