EXPLANATION:

• Alphabetical order is a structure wherein character strings are positioned in order on the basis of the place of the characters in the usual ordering of alphabets.
• It is one of the ways of ordering to ascertain which of the '2 strings of characters comes while placing in alphabetical order' when their 1st letters are compared.
• If they vary, then the string whose '1st letter comes before in the alphabet list' of traditional alphabet order, that string comes earlier to the other string.
• If the '1st letters are the same', then the '2nd letters are compared', and so on. This goes until all the given words are arranged in alphabetical order and no other words are left.
