IWBNI JEmplode sorted its right-hand panel the same way that the player sorts its search displays.

The way to do this is to implement a java.text.Collator that rewrites its inputs so that any leading "The" is removed and replaced with ", The" at the end, and then delegates to a Collator aqcuired using

Collator c = Collator.getInstance(Locale.US);

c.setStrength(Collator.PRIMARY);
