 * Hi, I don’t quite understand your question. Do you have a customfield which has
   an alternative title you’d like to show? If so, you can use the customfield_display
   parameter to show the contents of that field.
 * If not, where is the alternative title held?

 * If the altenative title for the post is in a customfield in that post then using
   the customfield_display parameter in catlist will show it. For example, if you
   have the alternative title in the custom field which is called alttitle you can
   show that by including customfield_display=”alttitle” in your catlist call.
 * If your alternative title is not in a customfield for each post, please let us
   know where it is so we can think about how to show it.

 * i can write “alttitle” separately in post. What is the method to write there?
   Means should i create a customfield in every post?
    What would be the structure
   for it?

 * I’m not sure I’m fully understanding what you want, but if you want to write 
   something to a customfield called alttitle then you need to look up customfields
   in the WordPress Codex, or you could look at using a Plugin like Advanced Custom
   Fields.
