Look at what "Display format" you're using. I'm using the "Simple Dictionary" and it is working just fine to list in alpa order....Sounds as if you may be using a Continous format?
Display format
This setting specifies the way that each entry will be shown within the glossary. The default formats are:
- Simple Dictionary:
- looks like a conventional dictionary with separate entries. No authors are displayed and attachments are shown as links.
- Continuous:
- shows the entries one after other without any kind of separation but the editing icons.
- Full with Author:
- A forum-like display format showing author's data. Attachments are shown as links.
- Full without Author:
- A forum-like display format that does not show author's data. Attachments are shown as links.
- Encyclopedia:
- Like 'Full with Author' but attached images are shown inline.
- FAQ:
- Useful for displaying lists of Frequently Asked Questions. It automatically appends the words QUESTION and ANSWER in the concept and definition respectively.
Here is my setup configuration for the Glossary:

Thanks for the reply Christopher.
I did have it set up dictionary style, and I even tried a few of the other settings just to see if that would change anything, and regardless of the format, all 337 entries are under 'A'. So I just have it set to show 'ALL' rather than the A-Z. It kind of sucks, but it's better than nothing.
When I imported the glossary, I used the import2.php mod and uploaded a .txt file with the concept & definitions defined (not xml, just plain text, moodle formatting, not categorized.) It didn't say anything about defining anything else, so I thought maybe that's where I screwed up, I didn't define the alphabet somehow.
Thanks again,
Christine
$newentry->concept = trim($newentry->concept);just after line 133. It should delete that whitespaces when loading data from file...
$newentry->definition = trim($newentry->definition);
