If you have spreadsheet software (I.e. word perfect/quatropro) you should be able to plug the names in and then sort them in an ascending order.
Is there anyway to sort a list of names alphabetically, based on the first letter?
What the title says, basically. I want there to be a list of names at the side of the Kenosha Map I'm working on, sorted alphabetically, like this:
Branson Road
City Centre
Foreview Park
Hillside
Millhouse View
etc.
Is there any program to sort a list of names alphabetically based on the first letter of each name? It'd save a lot of time.

Put the names in a table and use the sort function.
Or as Greason Wolfe suggests, use a spread sheet if that's easier.
