What is Alphabetical Order?
Alphabetical order is the method of arranging words based on the sequence of letters in the alphabet. Students compare the first letter of each word, and if two words begin the same way, they look at the next letters until they find a difference. This step‑by‑step comparison helps learners place each word in the correct order.
