Virtual CSL Editor how to sort by title skipping the article?

edda.s01

Hi everyone,
I don't even know if it is the right place to ask this question (and sorry for the spelling mistakes english is not my first language) but I am trying to edit a style in Virtual CSL Editor (I know nothing about csl I have basically just being trying), so I want my bibliogrpahy to sort by author and if there isn't one by book title, which I seem to have done (I don't know how) but when it sorts by title it considers as the first word to sort by the article which is the reason why I am writing... what do I do to make it skip the article when sorting? thank you very much

Sorry, that just isn't possible in CSL. If it's very important you can work around it (by storing the title without article as another variable, e.g. the short title), but obviously that requires a lot more manual work.

Thank you so much for the reply, unfortunately it is pretty important, would you be willing to explain to me how to do it step by step? Or is it too complicated? thank you

I didn't use short title because short title is used in quite a few styles.
