What are you talking about? Don't you know what alphabetizing means? Do you know the alphabet? I'm not trying to be mean, but this is a really ridiculous question if you're serious.

Most of us can say our alphabet but can we use it
effectively when we want to refer to a list that's in
alphabetical order? Supposing you have to put the
following names into alphabetical order:
JARVIS JAQUES JAMIESON JASARAVIC JAPP.

You'll realise fairly quickly that the order depends on
the third letter in each name. Does JASARAVIC come
before JAQUES or after it? People who are slow using
dictionaries, indexes and telephone directories, usually
struggle because they have to go right back to the start
of the alphabet to recite it.

The way to remember the alphabet is to split it into
little bits using rhyme - like a song or a poem:
a b c
d e f g (say "dee/ee eff/gee" - in two pairs)
h i j k l m
n o p q
r s t u
v w x y z
Notice that lines 1 and 2 rhyme, 4 and 5 rhyme.

1. Practise saying the alphabet aloud. Listen for the
beat, the rhythm, just like a poem or a song:
"en/oh pee/queue" etc.

2. Now practise "mouthing" the sounds - as if you're
whispering to yourself. (In the UK we use "practise" for the verb and "practice" for the noun. In the USA write "practice" for both noun and verb.)
If you recite the alphabet in this way you'll find it
easier to break into it at a suitable point - without
having to go back to the beginning each time.

Here's an example, if you were going to alphabetize your avatar name, it would go like this - D E F H H I N R S T U. I hope that helps.

I either dont understand this question or you really need advice on A through to Z.

You start at the A's - work through the alphabet until you reach the Z's.

PLEASE EXPLAIN !!!!!!!!!!!

Do you mean alphabetize? Ex:
Rad
red
rid
rod
rud
if the 1st letter is the same go to the 2nd, 3rd, etc.

um by the letters in the alphabet? example:

Allstar, Apple, Arouse, Banana, Billboard, Bonanza, Bongo, Classic, Classical, Computer, Denmark, Dots, Etc.

First letter second letter third letter and so on, if they are almost identical eg classic and classical, and there are only extra letters the shorter one goes first.

starting with the first letter of the word, the closest letter to "A" goes first, then it's the same with the 2nd letter 3rd and so on.
Example:hallway
hay
he
hello
help
hope
that helps

Just keep singing the ABC song while you are taking the test, that should help you.
