tähestikujärjestuses

tähestikujärjestuses is an Estonian phrase that translates to "in alphabetical order" in English. It describes the arrangement of items, typically words or names, according to the sequence of letters in the alphabet. This ordering is a fundamental organizational principle used in many contexts, including dictionaries, bibliographies, phone books, and indexes.

The Estonian alphabet, like the Latin alphabet, follows a specific order. When items are placed tähestikujärjestuses, the first letter of each item is compared. If the first letters are the same, the second letters are compared, and so on, until a difference is found or one item ends. This systematic approach ensures a consistent and predictable arrangement, making it easier to locate specific information within a larger collection of data.

For example, if one were listing names tähestikujärjestuses, "Aasa" would come before "Allik," and "Allik" would come before "Baum." This principle extends to longer words and phrases as well. The process is crucial for clarity and efficiency in communication and information retrieval. The concept of alphabetical order is universal, and tähestikujärjestuses is simply the Estonian term for this widely recognized method of organization.
