Alphabetical Order

Alphabetical order is a way to sort (organize a list). It is done by following the standard (usual) order of letters in the alphabet.

Rule 1:

A list of words is organized by their first letter.

E.g. pig, goat, chicken, sheep.

A.O: chicken, goat, pig, sheep

Rule 2:

If the list of words has the same first letter, they are sorted by their second letters.

E.g. Leonard, Larry, Lydia, Linda

A.O: Larry, Leonard, Linda, Lydia
