Ordering Taxonomy Terms

Hi there

I am trying to order a list of terms from a particular taxonomy by name and I have looked through pages of content and cannot work it out!

I currently have the following:
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'procedure_area' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );

echo $terms->name . ' Procedures'

This prints out the list but in date order.

Can someone please help and tell me how I can order it by name?

Thanks!
