"À" title sorting

IMSLP's title sorting ignores articles like "The", "A" etc. That's clever, but there's some trouble for French titles beginning by "À" (usually meaning "To", and commonly misspelled "A" without diacritic).
For example, in http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Rebikov% ... _Ivanovich "À la brune" is under letter L, and "À travers les pays slaves" is under letter T.
Is it possible, at least not to deal with "À" as with "A"? (I know it would be difficult to distinguish between French "A" and English "A"...)

On the article page you can specify a default sorting different from the page title. The wiki formatting to do this is:

{{DEFAULTSORT:sorting key}}
