Cataloguing?

Let's face it, Allan C, you can't make it sort in alphabetical order without
optimizing the title for the purposes of cataloguing.

I do think, however, that it might well be to "concatenate" the title /
concatenation / concatenating, as in to link together in a chain or
series ... for the purposes of cataloguing the item.

How does that sound?
