I wonder if there is a quick way to put the sheets within a workbook into
numerical/alphabetical order.

Macro is the only quick way

An internet search for "sort excel worksheets' turns up several sites
offering solutioins. One of those is the Ozgrid site, a good source, which
published this code:

Sub SortSheets()
Dim lCount As Long, lCounted As Long
Dim lShtLast As Long
Dim lReply As Long

lReply = MsgBox("To sort Worksheets ascending, select 'Yes'. " _
& "To sort Worksheets descending select 'No'", vbYesNoCancel, "Ozgrid Sheet
Sort")

If lReply = vbCancel Then Exit Sub
lShtLast = Sheets.Count
If lReply = vbYes Then 'Sort ascending
For lCount = 1 To lShtLast
For lCount2 = lCount To lShtLast
If UCase(Sheets(lCount2).Name) < UCase(Sheets(lCount).Name)
Then
Sheets(lCount2).Move Befo=Sheets(lCount)
End If
Next lCount2
Next lCount
Else 'Sort descending
For lCount = 1 To lShtLast
For lCount2 = lCount To lShtLast
If UCase(Sheets(lCount2).Name) UCase(Sheets(lCount).Name)
Then
Sheets(lCount2).Move Befo=Sheets(lCount)
End If
Next lCount2
Next lCount
End If

End Sub

To put the code into your workbook, press [Alt]+[F11] to enter the VB Editor
and then choose Insert | Module and copy and paste the code above into the
module presented to you, close the VB Editor and run the code from Tools |
Macro | Macros.

Chip Pearson also has a good solution (one I've borrowed myself in the past)
at his site on this page: http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/sortws.aspx
