Alphabetical order
I have a list, which I add to from time to time. It’s getting hard to find stuff on it now. How do I put it in alphabetical order?

Pages does not have an alphabetical sort capability for non-tabular lists.
If this is just a text list, then get the free WordService utility from the Mac App Store. It will install a suite of services during the download and offers one service: Sort Lines Ascending which will instantly sort a selected list.
Once installed, you will need to activate the Sort Lines Ascending service as it is not automatically activated. That is done in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services > WordService:Sort Lines Ascending. It also has a pre-assigned keyboard shortcut as shift+cmd+A when active. It would also be available from the Pages > Services menu too.
Select your entire list and apply the Sort Lines Ascending. The list is changed in place.
