Default Sorting a text strings but omitting preceding "A" or "The"

I need to sort text strings the may begin with "A" or "The". In these cases I
would like for the sort to ignore the "A" or "The" and sort based off the
second item in the string. Can you set preconditions to the sort?

Example:
The Big Blue Boat
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Giant
Four Score is Twenty Times Four


Results:
The Big Blue Boat
Four Score is Twenty Times Four
Giant
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
