Because that's how you'd alphabetize it normally. In a paper filing system,
you wouldn't have all your files for "The Big Co." right after "The Amazing
Corp" and before "The Blahblah Corp", would you? You don't use A, An or The
when you're alphabetizing....

You can control the File As properties per contact so it's "Bloggs, Joe (Big
Co, The)" if you prefer....
