Take a look at the actual documentation tiddler (not the static version)
here:
https://tiddlywiki.com/#How%20to%20remove%20stop%20words
Edit that tiddler to see the implementation. It contains this macro
definition:
```
\define compare-without-stopwords()
[<currentTiddler>search-replace:i:regexp[^The |A ],[]]
\end
```
To show a title with the "stop words" moved to the end of the title, add
this macro:
\define move-stopwords()
<$text text={{{[<currentTiddler>search-replace:i:regexp[(^The |A
)(.*)],[$2, $1]]}}}/>
\end
```
To get your book list as a variable, you can write:
```
<$set name="book-list" filter="[has:field[book]get[book]unique[]sort[]]">
```
You can then use something like this to show the list:
```
<$list filter="[enlist<book-list>sortsub<compare-without-stopwords>]">
<$link><<move-stopwords>></$link><br/>
</$list>
```
enjoy,
