Artist sort order - ignoring "The"

[konnexion]

I have the following in tagOptions

Artist.ignore.sort.index={The},Album.sortTags={+Date}

If I subsequently drill down in Artist in the control point I see that the first option is ignored - i.e. artists such as "The Beatles" appear under T rather than B - pretty sure this used to work.

Have tried both Kinsky & Kazoo control points but they show the same result.
