Is there a way when syncing to a handheld mount point to alter the artist name metadata to either not use or suffix any prefixing articles?  Like "The Clash" as "Clash, The"?

Leave the artist field as-in in the database, just alter it on the handheld location. 

Or if not changing the contents of a field, the swapping of another?  Use another field in place of artist, and use the article functions to copy the appropriate values in it?

It's a bit of an edge case, I'll grant you, but some car radio head units are worse than others when it comes to sorting and browsing.
