How do we determine the alphabetical order of a word?

If two words begin with the same first letter, we then look at the second letter to decide on the alphabetical order. For example: The word c a t comes before the word c o untry. That's because 'a' comes before 'o' in the alphabet. If a word has the same first two letters, we look at the third letter.

How is a list of items organized in alphabetical order?
