How do you write the alphabet in chines?

There is no alphabet per se, in Chinese. Chinese characters each represent an entire syllable. In mainland China, there is some use of the Western Alphabet for phonetic spelling, while in Taiwan, there is a syllabary for phonetic "spelling". Often referred to as "bo-po-mo-fo" the way we call our alphabet the ABCs, this syllabary has symbols to represent the beginnings of syllables and symbols to represent the ends of syllables. Still not an alphabet, though: in the above examble,"bo" is one symbol, "mo" is another, etc. These are "initials", symbols representing the beginnings of syllables. "Finals", symbols for the ends of syllables, represent sounds such as "an" and "ung", etc. Clear as mud? :D

What is the seventh letter in the Chinese alphabet?

There is no alphabet in the Chinese language, unlike English or even Korean or Japanese (and even Korean and Japanese have no set order for their 'alphabet'), as Chinese language is simply written with different strokes put together. You might find websites that give you the way English alphabets might be written in Chinese, phonetic-wise, but that is only how we would pronounce English alphabets in Chinese phonetically, and not the Chinese alphabet. :)
