Is there a way to get an alphabetical list of followers? I’m trying to figure out if a certain few people are followers but to dig through pages of chronological names seems to be a daunting task. Thanks.

Not a direct way, as far as I know. You could try to copy and paste into a spreadsheet to make a sortable list, I suppose, if it's important enough to take the trouble.
 
Doesn't seem to be possible in the admin UI. It's pretty easy if you're willing to get a little technical.

https://literotica.com/api/3/my/followers (which I found using the Chrome's developer tools, Network tab) gives you the follower data as a JSON array. I tried to process it with jq but has weirdly escaped URL text so in the end I just used Python:

Python:
# assuming you saved the data as followers.json
# in the directory you're running this code in

import json
followers = json.load(open('followers.json'))
names = [str(f['username']) for f in followers]
names.sort()
for name in names:
    print(name)

If you aren't familiar with Python, then I'm sure you could find some apps that let you manipulate and filter JSON in visual way. Googling for "json app osx" gave me stuff like this for OS X; there's probably something similar for Windows as well.

Oh, neat. Excel can handle json imports pretty easily. I just imported my list of followers. I don't personally have any real use for it, although I guess it might be interesting to compare lists when the number drops.
Thanks for the url!
 
Thanks. All a bit too technical for me. I was naively looking for something like a simple ‘list alphabetically’ icon here on the site.
