Sorting Algorithm 1. Input the list of items to be alphabetized 2. Check the first letter of each item in the list to see if they are in alphabetical order 3. If they are in alphabetical order skip to number 8 4. If they are not in alphabetical order skip to number 5 5. Compare the first letter of the first item to the first letter of the second item, if they are in correct alphabetical order, leave them alone; if not in correct order swap their order. 6. Take the next item in the list and compare it to the first letter of the first and second items, if they are in correct alphabetical order, leave them alone; if not in correct order swap their order until they are in correct alphabetical order. 7. Continue this way, moving items up or down until you have inserted all items in your list in correct alphabetical order. 8. Print the sorted list in alphabetical order 9. End
