How do you use alphabetical order to sort strings in the sort tool?

To sort strings in alphabetical order using the sort tool, selecting the option that corresponds to using a dictionary is key. This approach leverages the dictionary order for sorting, which organizes strings according to their alphabetical sequence as defined in a standard lexicon. It ensures that the sorting is comprehensive and adheres to common language rules, taking into account factors like case sensitivity and special characters, which can affect the overall order of the strings.

Using alphabetical order efficiently distinguishes entries such as "Apple," "banana," and "Cherry," sorting them as they would be arranged in a dictionary. This allows for a clear and organized output, which is particularly useful when dealing with lists of names, categories, or any string data where the order matters.

Other options, such as sorting by number or length, do not facilitate a true alphabetical arrangement. Instead, they focus on numerical sorting or sequence length, which is not suitable for alphabetically organizing strings. Hence, choosing the dictionary option is the most appropriate and effective method for achieving alphabetical order in the sort tool.
