i’m trying to achieve the same goal, tried this:

add_filter( 'a_z_listing_item_index_letter', 'ignore_the_in_a_z');
function ignore_the_in_a_z( $indices, $item, $item_type ) {
    $title = get_the_title( $item );
    for ( $i = 0; $i < strlen( $title ); $i++ ) {
        $first = substr( $title, $i, 4 );
        switch ( $first ) {
            case 'the ':
            print_r ($first):
                break;
            default:
                return [ $first ];
        }
    }
    return $indices;
}

but no luck, it ended up in everything being listed in the “special character” category… any help?
