Music/iTunes drops articles (a/an/the) from the beginning of implicit sort for artist, album, album artist, etc.
This behaviour should be replicated (when overriding playlist sorting) to make the difference in MLE/Music exports more transparent.
A SortPrefixLoader protocol should be created to load sort prefixes based upon locale. Implementations of this protocol depend on whether MLE is ran via CLI or an application (since CLI programs cannot contain .strings in a bundle).
For the Music Library Exporter and Music Library Exporter Helper applications, sort prefixes strings should be copied into the bundle
For the music-library-exporter CLI tool, sort prefixes can be loaded from /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AMPLibrary.framework/Versions/A/Resources/${LOCALE}.lproj/SortPrefixes.strings (or equivalent directory for OS versions which use iTunes)
