"Everyone" is one word when used in a sentence like "Everyone went to the fair." In this case it is a collective noun, the group is thought of as a whole.

"Every one" can be used as two words in sentences like "Every one of my brothers is bald." In this case the group is thought of as discrete individuals (each and every one)

What comes first alphabetically everyone or every one?

'Every one' is two words.'Everyone' is one word.And, therefore, alphabetically, 'every' comes before 'everyone', just as key comes before keyhole. Consequently, in some dictionaries, the phrase 'every one' is sometimes included within the range of definitions for 'every' because it is an idiom that uses the word 'every'.In this case, 'every one' appears before 'everyone'.However, some dictionaries do not include 'every one' as a sub-aspect of the word 'every', but show it as a unique entry in its own right, immediately after the entry for the word 'everyone'.A number of English words were formerly two separate words, e.g. forever (for + ever) and the new composite word has the same meaning as the two words written separately. However, with everyone, and every one, the meanings and usage may differ slightly.
