Sorting would be slower than using the dictionary method. Much slower.
If you don't need to sort for any other reason, don't sort!

By the way, it's usually courteous to quote at least some of the text
you're responding to, to give context. Otherwise nobody knows what
you're talking about. This isn't a PHPBB forum; each post actually is
quite separate. You may find that Google Groups makes your life
unnecessarily difficult in this, so it's probably easier to use the
mailing list:
