The correct spelling is das deutsche Alphabet or das deutsche Abc.

If you're asking in what order the letters are arranged, it's exactly the same as in English. Don't be confused by the presence of umlauts (ä) & ess-tsets (ß). The umlauts indicate a different pronunciation, taking the place of an e, following the letter. In the case of a, this changes the word from an "ah" sound as in spa or father, to an "ay" sound as in hay or way. Similarly, the o, u, and i all change slightly, more often seeing the o & u with umlauts. (To simulate the sound they make, imagine that you're saying "oh" as in show, or "ooh" as in shoe, after eating something really sour, so that your lips are smaller and rounder, and try to broaden your tongue, so as to poke between your molars.) The ß is simply a fusion of one s and another s, and is often written with two s's, presently. Its name comes from the letter ess (s), and tsed (z).
