I have no idea what you are asking. TextEdit is an application. What needs to be in alphabetical order? What is the difference between "A-Z" and "A _ Z"? Explain in excruciating detail, don't assume we know what you are talking about.

TextEdit doesn't support that. Use a spreadsheet app to do that and paste the results back to TextEdit. If you don't have Numbers installed locally, you can use the iCloud version online to do it. If you don't want to use Numbers, you can use Google Sheets to do it.
