I have a folder on a home page with several contacts Favorites. I would like to alphabetize the list for easier viewing. System is Android 5.x I can change the color and I can move the items around but I find no way to get them in any order automatically.

Well, it depends on how the ‘folder’ of contact favorites got there.
If it is a widget where you added specific people’s icons to your home screen, then combined them into a folder – you should be able to drag them around into whatever order you want. No automatic sort.
If it is actually your Contact favorites – first, let me know how you did it! – I can’t figure out a way to do that on mine. But, maybe the settings for your contacts will sort that folder? Go to contacts, tap the 3-dot menu in upper right, choose settings, contacts, Sort by.
Let me know.

My wife got busy with her new Galaxy S6 and used the menu in Contacts to set up favorites on a home page. Then to declutter the page she dragged the favorites into a new folder created by just dragging one favorite on top of another – just like making an app folder. However the order in the new folder is best described as “higgledy piggledy” (not sure how one spells that but I went with Google). The only menu option in the folder is choice of color. She is now busy shuffling them into order one by one. I guess no one has automated that, yet!
Thank you for the quick response. I never organized my phone that way so had no idea how to proceed
