The "QWERTY" keyboard (named for the first 6 letters on the top row) was developed to slow down typists on old manual typewriters. With a regular ABCDE.. keyboard setup they would type too fast and cause the keys to jam. With the QWERTY setup they typed slower and prevented key jams. It became the accepted standard and persists even after electric typewriters & computers made the original reason irrelevant.

The keyboard was once in alphabetical order but his cased the keys to wear quickly as highly used keys were next to each other. So a mathematician called Qwerty (see top left of keyboard and read from q) invented the qwerty keyboard which is in use now. This worked by placing common letters beside less used letters; like xcv. X and v are rarely used whereas c is used quite a bit.
the order of the keys was selected to reduce the chance of hammer clash jams on early typewriters. Sholls invented the QWERTY order used on american typewriters.

In alphabetical order, the words would be arranged as follows: "boggle," "bold," "bond," "boil," and "old." Therefore, "boggle" comes first in this list.

No, the keys on a typical computer keyboard are not in the order of the alphabet. Two popular keyboard designs (based on the order of letters on the first row) are QWERTY and DVORAK.
The QWERTY keyboard design is centered around what letters are used the most often.
This goes back to the first typewriters in the 1800s that were mechanical manual machines. Originally the keys were arranged in alphabetical order. However typing english text on such a keyboard resulted in too many hammer clash jams (adjacent hammers would get stuck against each other and the typist would have to stop and unjam the machine). The fix, after some experimentation, was to jumble the keys into the modern "qwerty" order so that it was very rare for adjacent keys to be typed in sequence.
