alphabetical arrangement
A-to-Z organization
Alphabetical arrangement is the ordering of items according to the sequence of letters in the alphabet—A before B, B before C, and so on.
Words are sorted letter by letter: apple comes before apply, which comes before apricot.
This system organizes dictionaries, indexes, directories, and bibliographies, making information retrievable without knowing its content in advance.
