I have a book with no author so I know I need to alphabetize by title for my Works Cited list. The problem is the title is "1914: The Coming of the First World War." How do I alphabetize a title that starts with a number?

Alphabetize the title as if the number 1914 were spelled out, ex: "Nineteen Fourteen" then place it in the correct alphabetical order.

For more information, consult the MLA Handbook, 9th ed., p. 115.
