"Sort by name" ignores "ignored articles"

Using 2.12.0 on Windows, could you explain that ? When ignore articles is ON.
When ignore articles is OFF. Same thing.
The result seems very inconsistant mixing the names and the sort title like here:
It should sort movies by name then by sort title.
Confused.
It should sort movies by name then by sort title.
- As for sorting: I believe the order of priority is:
1 Sort Title 2 Name 3 Original Name
When an item is blank it goes to the next one.
- As for Ignoring Articles: I believe it only works for Name and Original Name.
So, if in Sort Title you have: La Trilogie du dollar01 La Trilogie du dollar02 La Trilogie du dollar03 This will be the display order regardless of the name and article.
But, if in Sort Title you have the same value in the 3 Movies La Trilogie du dollar La Trilogie du dollar La Trilogie du dollar Then I believe that the Movies will be in the "La Trilogie du dollar" position and the alphabetical order will be that of the Name field, using or not the Article.
