you can use OpenOffice Calc
it's like Excel, but free.
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0/index.html

type in a heading at the top of a column.
type the vocabulary words in the cells under the column with the heading

they aren't supposed to be words, but I'm just using them as an example

highlight the column

go to Data > sort

and click ok

now they are alphabetised, except for the heading
 
well i figured it out last night with microsoft word... so i have been saved, but thanks anyway for the reply, i'll probably still download that program anyway
 
well ya in case anyone else gets stuck in this situation i can tell you how to do it with microsoft word... just go to table/sort/ then change paragraph to field one, and bam organized!! haha ya one dollar a page isnt bad at all, the only thing is its hard to read... i got till january to finish this thing though, but if i keep working i should finish by this friday
