unalphabetized

Not in sequence

Unalphabetized describes something not arranged in alphabetical order.

A list, index, or collection that hasn't been sorted A to Z is unalphabetized: The unalphabetized bibliography made finding sources tedious.

The word implies disorder or incompleteness—something that should be alphabetized but isn't yet.
