That's not being pedantic, it's just wrong. Do you not call the order of words in a dictionary "alphabetical order"?

Of course, but this is a 6? year old. Read the question as a child would.

Put the following words in alphabetical order

All fine, but if they don't know the word "alphabetical" the clarification is...

(The order they come in the alphabet)

Confusing. "They" refers to the words and alphabet contains letters. If it had been "dictionary" and not "alphabet" then that would be clear.
