We have a category explaining terms; a dictionary. Here alphabetic sorting would be handy to quickly scroll to the right term.  
Why is endless scrolling a problem..? Couldn’t you just start with ‘A’ and load ‘B’ as the user scrolls down?

Or is the problem that the list can’t be made because to the browser not all topics are known yet, before the user scroll down?
