Question

When you are alphabetizing musical group names, what beginning words do you ignore? For example, “An Extension of Him” or “The Helpful Crew” or “In His Name?”

Thanks.

Answer 1

You'd ignore "An" and "The" -- also "A" -- alphebetize by the next word.

Answer 2

No word is ignored in your third example.

Answer 3

According to this and several other sites, we omit beginning articles (A, An, The) when alphabetizing.

Extension of Him, An
Helpful Crew, The
In His name
