+# Story 23: Alphabetize LLM Dropdown List
+
+## User Story
+As a user, I want the LLM model dropdown to be alphabetically sorted so I can quickly find the model I'm looking for.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] The model dropdown list is sorted alphabetically (case-insensitive)
+- [x] The currently selected model remains selected after sorting
+- [x] The sorting works for all models returned from Ollama
+- [x] The sorted list updates correctly when models are added/removed
+
+## Out of Scope
+- Grouping models by type or provider
+- Custom sort orders (e.g., by popularity, recency)
+- Search/filter functionality in the dropdown
+- Favoriting or pinning specific models to the top
+
+## Technical Notes
+- Models are fetched from `get_ollama_models` Tauri command
+- Currently displayed in the order returned by the backend
+- Sort should be case-insensitive (e.g., "Llama" and "llama" treated equally)
+- JavaScript's `sort()` with `localeCompare()` is ideal for this
+
+## Implementation Approach
+```tsx
+// After fetching models from backend
+const sortedModels = models.sort((a, b) => 
+  a.toLowerCase().localeCompare(b.toLowerCase())
+);
+setAvailableModels(sortedModels);
+```
+
+## Design Considerations
+- Keep it simple - alphabetical order is intuitive
+- Case-insensitive to handle inconsistent model naming
+- No need to change backend - sorting on frontend is sufficient
