We calculate the alternation number of torus knots with braid index 4 and less. For the lower bound, we use the Upsilon-invariant recently introduced by Ozsvath, Stipsicz, and Szabo. For the upper bound, we use a known bound for braid index 3 and a new bound for braid index 4. Both bounds coincide, so that we obtain a sharp result.
