If filing names alphabetically, which name would be second on the list?

When filing names alphabetically, the order is determined first by the first letter of the first name, then by the subsequent letters if the first letters are the same, followed by the last names.

In this case, looking at the first names, the names are Francis and Frances. "Frances" comes before "Francis" because 'a' precedes 'n' in the alphabet.

Now, for those entries that start with "Frances," we can compare them: Frances B. Ulmann and Frances Q. Ulmann. When comparing these two names, the second letter of the middle initials (B and Q) is compared. Since B comes before Q in the alphabet, Frances B. Ulmann would be listed before Frances Q. Ulmann.

Thus, the alphabetical order for the names is:

1. Frances B. Ulmann

2. Frances Q. Ulmann

3. Francis A. Ullmann

4. Francis T. Ullmann

Consequently, the second name on the list, after accounting for alphabetical order, is Frances Q. Ulmann.
