/**

 * Often a list of data which has titles in it (books, albums etc) will have

 * the word "the" at the start of some individual titles, which you don't want

 * to include in your sorting order. This plug-in will strip the word "the"

 * from the start of a string and sort on what is left.

 *

 *  @name Anti-"the"

 *  @summary Sort with the prefixed word `dt-string The` removed, if present

 *  @author [Allan Jardine](http://sprymedia.co.uk)

 *

 *  @example

 *    $('#example').dataTable( {

 *       columnDefs: [

 *         { type: 'anti-the', targets: 0 }

 *       ]

 *    } );
