alphabetizing
A-to-Z arrangement
Alphabetizing is arranging items in the order of the alphabet, typically by first letter, then second, and so on: I spent the afternoon alphabetizing the spice rack.
The practice is standard for organizing lists, files, bibliographies, and reference materials.
To alphabetize a collection is to impose this order on it.
