Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Alphabetical category list without “The” or “An”?8rittany — it would take a bit of work (depending on how may posts you have) but the AZIndex plugin allows you to sort posts into an index based on post titles, excerpts, or custom fields. So you could add modified titles of a book or movie (e.g. “Shining, The”) to a custom field or excerpt and then sort on those, leaving the original titles of your posts alone.
The plugin is: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/azindex/
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Archive List within a PageThe AZIndex plugin might help you (yes, I am the author, so this is shameless self-promotion 🙂 ) but seriously, AZIndex will allow you to create alphabetized lists of posts from one or more categories.
You can create an index for each category, and add a brief description for each post in the index in the excerpt of the post, which you can then specify to show up in the index. There are a load of different options and you can embed one or more indexes in the same post or page (though they all have to have the same CSS styling on the same page).
Take a look. It might be what you’re looking for.

In reply to: Alpha index of all posts plug-in?Hey vachi — you could give my plugin a try — AZIndex — it’s all about alphabetical indexing of posts and pages. You can include a subset of posts using tags and/or categories, and you can index on post titles, excerpts, or even custom fields, with a whole slew of options for displaying the index in various ways. So if your metadata is in Custom Fields or the excerpt you may find it useful.

In reply to: Suggestion for all plugin developers using shortcodesOops, this was my first post with source code in it. Didn’t realize there is no HTML allowed! Here is the code again, without the errant HTML this time:
add_shortcode('az-index', 'az_insert_index'); function az_insert_index($params) { extract(shortcode_atts(array('id' => 0, 'escape' => 'false'), $params)); if ($escape != 'true') { $content = az_get_index_content($id); } else { // We just want to display the shortcode itself, not a substitution. $content = '[az-index id="'.$id.'"]'; } return $content; }The plugin is now available for download from the WordPress Plugin repository:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/azindex/
Please leave feedback at the plugin’s home page or via email.
Always a good idea to include a link when you’re promoting a web site 🙂
Ugh, apologies for the lack of formatting. The same information can be found in a more readable format on the plugin page linked above.
