To put things in abc order you need to look at the first letter in all those words and see which letter comes first out of all of them. For example, if u had four words that started with b, n, o, and s then the first word would be the word that started with a b because b comes before those other letters in the alphabet. If there are two words with the same letter that would be first then go to the second letter. For example if your words were bye and be then be would be before bye because e comes before y in the alphabet. Hope this helps!!
