what is the rule with words with apostrophes? Such as it's and its...which comes first alphabetically?
You are correct in stating that "brother's" is the possessive form of the word "brother". In alphabetical order, words are typically listed based on the letters that come first in the word.
To determine which word comes first in proper alphabetical order, we compare the letters from left to right. In this case, we compare the word "brothers" to "brother's".
When comparing "brothers" to "brother's", we first look at the letter "s" in both words. Since "s" comes after "'" in the sequence of alphabetical order, "brothers" comes before "brother's". Therefore, "brothers" would come first in proper alphabetical order.
I understand that the process of sorting words alphabetically can be time-consuming. If you prefer an automated solution, there are several online tools and websites that can help you alphabetize lists or words without the need for manual sorting.
