2666
365 Foreign Dishes
Evergreen Tree Pruning Calendar
Creating a Water Garden
The Quilt Inn Country Cookbook
A. V. Laider
Abarat
Abbot's Ghost
The Absent-Minded Coterie

Ignoring the definite article is sensible, but I do not understand the others.

Has anyone any ideas, please?

Check the "title sort" field in the metadata for the books which are "out of order".
