I have a database of kennels. One page lists the kennels alphabetically by kennel name.
I have a field for kennel name and an index with kennel name as the only field.

Some of the kennels have the word "The" as the first word in the name and they do not want to be listed alphabetically by "The..."

Is there a way that I can request that mysql ignore "The" in a kennel name when ordering it or must I create a new field for the ordering and remove the "The" from the kennel name for that field ?

comp.databases.mysql would be a much better place to ask this question.

my isp does not supply this ng.

can someone point me to a portal that will allow me to access it ?
