Alphabetical order
To arrange something in alphabetical order was to organize items by the alphabet letters their words began with, from A to Z.
In 2367, USS Enterprise-D's ship's computer quizzed Geordi LaForge, challenging him to "List the resonances of the subquantum states associated with transitional relativity… in alphabetical order." LaForge answered four out of five in the twenty seconds given to him – "asymmetrical, inverted, phased, stable" – but failed to state the last answer in time – "universal". (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")
