Sort list of elements created from a custom command
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

In order to have this result
I wrote this command:
newlengthboldAcrwidth
setlengthboldAcrwidth2cm
NewDocumentCommandboldAcrm >SplitList m%
makebox[boldAcrwidth][l]bfseriestextitMakeUppercase#1%
ProcessList#2boldAcrFirst%
unskip
NewDocumentCommandboldAcrFirstm%
boldAcrFirstAux#1 % we want a space
NewDocumentCommandboldAcrFirstAuxm%

and
beginflushleft
boldAcrowaspopen web application security project \
boldAcrasvsapplication security verification standard\
boldAcrdbmsdatabase management system\
boldAcrsqliastructured query language injection attack\
boldAcrldaplightweight directory access protocol\
endflushleft
Is there a way to modify it in order to sort the elements alphabetically, based on the acronym?

An option would be to haveaddacrowaspopen web application security projectand add any acronym and then have aprintacrlistthat automatically sorts them. But may be there's a package already made for acronyms?

Here's a way to do it. Each call to boldAcr adds an item to a seq variable that contains the acronym and the meaning. At the end of the defined environment the seq var is sorted (using code from this answer -- same caveats apply) then printed using boldAcroPut, which is the same as you defined previously.

you spare yourself the hassle of writing the acronym. To avoid a word being used in the acronym you just tell it to dont use it:

This just uses addacrsqlstructured query language before, and then printacrlist, which in turn uses your boldAcr for printing each one.

you spare yourself the hassle of writing the acronym. To avoid a word being used in the acronym you just tell it to dont use it:

It works with only one acronym, with 2 I have errors (Undefined control sequence. endacroenv)

@ScTALE Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by “two acronyms”. Can you give an example for me to reproduce the error?

@ScTALE Weird... The code you showed works for me (screenshot and output log). What LaTeX distribution/version you have. Can you upload the log so I can see? Perhaps it's an issue with the version ofexpl3.

This just uses addacrsqlstructured query language before, and then printacrlist, which in turn uses your boldAcr for printing each one.

An option would be to have
