There are advantages and disadvantages to storing in alphabetical order. Generally you want to segregate chemicals according to type rather than name. Acids and bases usually should not be stored together. Oxidizers and combustibles should not be stored together. You get the idea; in general - don't store chemicals together with other chemicals that they will react with violently. If you store strictly alphabetically you could wind up with acetic acid being stored with ammonia - which I do not think you would want to do.

Once the chemicals are segregated according to incompatibility, it might be good to organize by alphabetical order so that someone looking for a particular chemical can find it more easily.
