This is documented under TagOptions with the example given being:

Code:

tagOptions: Artist.ignore.sort={The}

NOTE: "Artist.ignore.sort.index={The}" will move "The" to the back of the artists name e.g. Beatles, The

The definition of the Artist, All Artists and AlbumArtist indexes can be found here.

It's important to think of these only as indexing entities, because in the rest of the configuration you'll reference everything by tag name e.g. if you wanted to ignore "The" from all entries in the Artist index (assuming you had some missing AlbumArtist tags) you'd need to apply the .ignore to both the AlbumArtist and Artist tags.

If you want to remove any indexing of the AlbumArtist tag simply remove "Artist, " (as AlbumArtist isn't included in the default setup) from indexTags.
