Normal topicProduce Sort Artist Field - "The" bands with multi-part names

The existing sort action that is available in the resources Produce Sort Artist Field does not handle bands that begin with "The", following by more than one word, very well.

For example, "The Moody Blues" will be changed to "Blues, The Moody".

Can this be updated so it sorts it as "Moody Blues, The"?

That was written for Yate v4.0 before there was a Sort Form statement. I've posted the updated action which is now really only two statements. Read the documentation as various special Export sets are used. If you've never modified the out of the box export sets, you should be okay.
