• Alphabetical order helps in sorting a list.

• In a set of words, the word whose first letter appears earlier in the alphabet comes first in the alphabetical order.

• If many words have the same first letter, they are sorted on the basis of their second letters and after that, the third and fourth letters are used.

• In this way, the whole list is sorted.
