I have some older org files which once exported to LaTeX without
complaint but now refuse to do so, producing the error
 "defconst: Symbol's value as variable is void:
 org-list-allow-alphabetical"

These files have org-tables in them; if removed, the files export
without any problem.

I haven't set org-list-allow-alphabetical anywhere in my .emacs

I'm running the latest version of org & org-plus-contrib from ELPA.

Suggestions?

A backtrace would help: see section 1.4, "Feedback", in the Org manual,
particularly the section "How to create a useful backtrace."

o What version of org are you using?
o Does adding (require 'org-list) to your .emacs after you load org-mode
  itself help? It should not be necessary, but that's where the variable
  is initially defined.
o A backtrace would help :-)
