Combining 2 sections of JS code

Hello folks, I’d like to combine two bits of JS code but I don’t have the JS savvy to do it. Can someone please help. The first piece of code is to set up a category of Popular Posts [=stickies]. It runs like this.

function wpb_latest_sticky() { 
 
/* Get all sticky posts */
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
 
/* Sort the stickies with the newest ones at the top */
rsort( $sticky );
 
/* Get the 5 newest stickies (change 5 for a different number) */
$sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, 5 );
 
/* Query sticky posts */
$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__in' => $sticky, 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 ) );
// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
    $return .= '<ul>';
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        $the_query->the_post();
        $return .= '<li><a href="' .get_permalink(). '" title="'  . get_the_title() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a><br />' . get_the_excerpt(). '</li>';
         
    }
    $return .= '</ul>';
	
} else {
    // no posts found
}
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
 
return $return; 
 
} 
add_shortcode('latest_stickies', 'wpb_latest_sticky');
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

The second piece of code is supposed to get blogs in alphabetical order (tho for me, it’s not working yet). It goes like this:

	function change_posts_order( $query ) {
if ( $query-is_home() && $query-is_main_query() ) {
$query-set( 'orderby', 'title' );
$query-set( 'order', 'ASC' );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', ' change_posts_order ' );

Is anyone able to help me with a piece of code that will get my stickies displaying in alphabetical order, please?
