For the most part, however, the alphabet’s letters are in that order because they have simply always been that way. The modern English letters that we see today have trickled down over the centuries and the basic order of the alphabet has remained relatively the same since the time of the Phoenicians, or even the North Semitics before them (I searched it up not too hard to get answers folks).

The order of the alphabet is believed to have been established by Phoenician traders around 1050 BCE. The current sequence has remained unchanged and was adopted by various languages over time. The specific reasons behind the order of the alphabet are not definitively known.
