I don't know about the dispute, but either 'alphabeticisation' is a very old
word or one that was created by the author, much like the word "normalcy"
was used by Warren Harding in his presidential campaign promise of 1920
(instead or the more used term "normality").

So perhaps that's why the use of "alphabeticisation" was viewed as odd
instead of the word "alphabetize" (or "alphabetise"), which is more
universally used and understood.


Just my 2 cents,
