sort script/command

ok.

i am doing a project where i have hand typed in the titles of nearly 500 DVD titles, each one is on a seperate line.
but they arent in any type of alphebetical order, and i need them sorted in that format (A-Z or a-z) .....

i know that the 'sort' command can be used but also know the output is gonna come out all wacky due to titles that start with 'the' or 'a' .

if ANYONE could help i really appreciate it a lot.
