alphabetize

Bella, 15, arrived with a stack of notebooks alphabetized by subject, pencils sorted by color and a binder that read: “High school — magical years!”

A local mortuary working with the county took possession of the other four bodies and the cremated remains and has since sorted and alphabetized the cremated remains.

“It’s hard to see your ignorance alphabetized,” he said.

Her spices were alphabetized, her cutlery all had to face the same direction in the drawer and her chocolate chip cookies were somehow all identical.

And instead of organizing the case from top to bottom, I alphabetize each individual shelf so that when it’s time to add a book, I don’t have to shift the entire system.
