the japanese dictionary orders all the words based on 1) the sound the word makes at the begining, and 2) based on where that sound lies in the hiragana/katakana table.

example:
the word 私　(watashi)

in hiragana, it would be spelled わたし. so the dictionary will alphebetize it based on "wa-ta-shi" and not "w-a-t-a-s-h-i".

next, here's the basic table of hiragana. i'm using the basic table cause the other tables won't be used.

あ　　　い　　　う　　　え　　　お
か　　　き　　　く　　　け　　　こ
さ　　　し　　　す　　　せ　　　そ
た　　　ち　　　つ　　　て　　　と
な　　　に　　　ぬ　　　ね　　　の
は　　　ひ　　　ふ　　　へ　　　ほ
ま　　　み　　　む　　　め　　　も
や　　　　　　　ゆ　　　　　　　　よ
ら　　　り　　　る　　　れ　　　ろ
わ　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　を
ん

if you notice with the chart above, "wa" or わ is located WAY at the bottom. so all of the words starting with わ will come AFTER everything else. keep in mind that the list goes from left to right, and then the next row left to right. it's just like an english dictionary, but with different sounds / alphebet.

EDIT: forgot to mention that all of the words will be in hiragana/katakana/kanji where applicable. if the word has a kanji to it, then it will be listed under hiragana first. if it's only in katakana, then it will be listed in katakana, but still be treated the same regardless and will be listed in alphebetical order.
