What is the best method for organizing dozens of functions in a
Javascript file? Alphabetically? According to function purpose? Anyone
have a tried and true method?

Thanks,

You can do both. For example:

function edit_page1()
function edit_page2()
function form_build()
function form_reset()
function page_search()

I often identify each function with a short description at the top in a
comment block.

/*
* function edit_page1() -- performs data validation for "page1.htm" .
* function edit_page2() -- performs data validation for "page2.htm" .
*/
