The `Alphabetical` method on a `Taxonomy` object returns an [ordered taxonomy], sorted alphabetically by [term].
While a `Taxonomy` object is a [map], an ordered taxonomy is a [slice], where each element is an object that contains the term and a slice of its [weighted pages].
{{% include "methods/taxonomy/_common/get-a-taxonomy-object.md" %}}
## Get the ordered taxonomy
Now that we have captured the “genres” Taxonomy object, lets get the ordered taxonomy sorted alphabetically by term:
```go-html-template
{{ $taxonomyObject.Alphabetical }}
```
To reverse the sort order:
```go-html-template
{{ $taxonomyObject.Alphabetical.Reverse }}
```
To inspect the data structure:
```go-html-template
<pre>{{ jsonify (dict "indent" " ") $taxonomyObject.Alphabetical }}</pre>
```
{{% include "methods/taxonomy/_common/ordered-taxonomy-element-methods.md" %}}
## Example
With this template:
```go-html-template
{{ range $taxonomyObject.Alphabetical }}
<h2><a href="{{ .Page.RelPermalink }}">{{ .Page.LinkTitle }}</a> ({{ .Count }})</h2>
<ul>
{{ range .Pages.ByTitle }}
<li><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a></li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
{{ end }}
```
Hugo renders:
```html
<h2><a href="/genres/romance/">romance</a> (2)</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="/books/jamaica-inn/">Jamaica inn</a></li>
<li><a href="/books/pride-and-prejudice/">Pride and prejudice</a></li>
</ul>
<h2><a href="/genres/suspense/">suspense</a> (3)</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="/books/and-then-there-were-none/">And then there were none</a></li>
<li><a href="/books/death-on-the-nile/">Death on the nile</a></li>
<li><a href="/books/jamaica-inn/">Jamaica inn</a></li>
</ul>
