The general order for organizing food in the refrigerator from top to bottom is as follows: Ready-to-eat foods, such as leftovers and drinks, should be placed on the top shelf. The middle shelves are ideal for dairy products and eggs. The bottom shelf is best for raw meats, poultry, and fish, as it is the coldest part. Lastly, drawers are designated for fruits and vegetables, which helps maintain their freshness.
The top of the refrigerator is cold because that's where the cooling unit is located, usually at the back. The cold air sinks, so it tends to stay at the bottom of the fridge where it keeps the food cool.
by putting it in order from top to bottom
It is colder at the top of a refrigerator because cold air sinks, causing the lower portion to be slightly warmer.

its not always at the bottom its just the way yours is made some other people have asked why is it at the TOP of the refrigerator so my answer is that its just a selective spot depending on what fridge you have. In fact, the majority of refrigerator/freezer combinations have the freezer on top. As mentioned in other posts, hot air rises and cold air sinks, so freezer-on-top models can transfer cold air to the refrigerator without using as much electricity as other models, making freezer-on-top models the most energy efficient refrigerators (generally speaking) that you can buy.
You can buy a refrigerator with the freezer compartment at the bottom if you want It just seems easier to me to have the freezer compartment at the top of the refrigerator if you want to see what's in there without bending over
This temperature difference in a refrigerator is due to the way the cooling system is designed. Cold air sinks, so the bottom of the refrigerator, where the vents are usually located, is cooler. Meanwhile, the top shelves are warmer because they are farther away from the cooling source and are impacted by warm air that rises.

It's not always. Many freezers are on bottom or side-by-side with the fridge.
Bottom so less cold air escapes and most people use refrigerator more than freezer which will require less bending over.
