alphabetising
Arranging by letter
Alphabetising is the British spelling of alphabetizing—arranging items in the order of the alphabet.
The task ranges from simple (sorting a short list of names) to complex (library cataloguing systems with rules for articles, prefixes, and word-by-word versus letter-by-letter ordering): I spent the afternoon alphabetising the spice rack.
