Like dictionary entries
Alphabetic means relating to or arranged according to an alphabet—the ordered set of letters in a writing system.
An alphabetic list organizes items from A to Z.
Alphabetic order is the standard sequence for indexes, directories, and dictionaries.
The term also distinguishes letter-based writing systems from syllabic or logographic ones.
