It is easier to study the properties of elements, if they are arranged in a proper way as in the Periodic Table. Elements in a given group have same number of valence electrons and hence generally have similar properties.

Crystal structure played a very large part in Mendeleev's classification of the elements. Beryllium is in most ways very chemically similar to aluminium. But Mendeleev placed it in group 2 rather than group 3 for 2 reasons: beryllium oxide had a similar structure to magnesium oxide, but nothing like aluminium oxide, and if beryllium were placed in group 3 it would have had to have an atomic weight around 14 -- similar to nitrogen -- and there was simply no way to accommodate it there.

Well Shaniqua Williams, proffessor from Boise, Idaho, decided to make the table as pretty as herself, so she organized it by atomic number in the year 1999-2007 (it took a few years...).
