alphabetical listings

A-to-Z arrangement

Alphabetical listings are items arranged in the order of the alphabet—A before B, B before C, and so on.

The term typically refers to directories, indexes, or catalogs organized this way: Check the alphabetical listings in the back of the book, The alphabetical listings showed three restaurants starting with Z.

The phrase emphasizes the organizational method rather than the content.
