That specific problem is probably pretty much limited to English and a
few other languages only. I know for sure many other languages that are
not affected by that problem. ;)

Hence, I don't think altering the English terminology used for this
objection alone (the alphabetical ordering) would be a good idea, as it
might cause problem for many other languages in the localization
process. I also think "accessibility" is a very wellknown term these
days, and would probably be so even more for the target group of users,
so it would probably be bad to lose that recognition effect.
