alphabetical list

A-to-Z arrangement

A list arranged according to the order of the alphabet, typically by first letter of each item.

An alphabetical list makes finding specific entries easier: The index is an alphabetical list of topics.

Phone books, dictionaries, and class rosters are traditionally organized this way.
