Alphabetical order is
often used to organize numeric information for many different
variables or cases. For example, the daily stock market report
listing high, low, opening and closing prices for hundreds of stocks
is organized in alphabetical order. Most people learn to look up
information in alphabetical order in elementary school, and the
method needs little or no explanation to convey the basis on which
it is organized, facilitating self-guided look-up of information.
