 * 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 [AZIndex](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/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.

 * Hey vachi — you could give my plugin a try — [AZIndex](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/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.

 * Oops, 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;
       }
       ```

 * Ugh, apologies for the lack of formatting. The same information can be found 
   in a more readable format on the plugin page linked above.
