Ok, that works good with 

for x in words:
	if x[0] < newword:
		continue
	if x[0] > newword:
		break

	pos = words.index(x)

But what can I do that the words are sorted case insensitive. (No matter
about upper and lower case letters)?
 
And how can I tell words.sort() that it should only sort the first
column of my 4 column list?
