if you want it to display in alphabetical order, you'll need to sort
them and them display them.
look into the apple guidebooks on the list subject one of those contain
a scnippet on how to move object in a list. Then perform a bubble sort
(compare one object with next one if the first is supposed to be higher
than the second, then swap them, then compare it again with the next one
so that it bubble up the list until it reaches a point where it cannot
go higher, do that until there are no more item to move)

here is an example of double bubble sort that i use to sort card in a
stack for an app, i'm sure you can get what you want from it.
on SortCard(inStack) -- based on a double bubble sort
set again to true
set iloopvar to 1
tell application "TI StudyCards Creator"
repeat while again is true and iloopvar is less than (count of
card in inStack) + 1
set jLoopVar to count of card in inStack
set again to false
repeat while jLoopVar is greater than iloopvar
if name of card jLoopVar of inStack is less than name of
card (jLoopVar - 1) of inStack then
move card jLoopVar of inStack to before card
(jLoopVar - 1) of inStack
set again to true
end if
set jLoopVar to jLoopVar - 1
-- your statements
end repeat
set iloopvar to jLoopVar + 1
-- your statements
end repeat
end tell
end SortCard
