Unlike other woodwinds, you hold a flute sideways to play it. Most woodwinds are held in front of the musician when being played.
Yup. Most woodwinds are, actually.
Woodwinds
The flute is in the woodwinds section of an orchestra.
A flute is the odd one out because it is a woodwind instrument that produces sound through the vibration of air across an opening, rather than using reeds like other woodwinds. In contrast, most woodwind instruments, such as clarinets and saxophones, rely on a reed to generate sound. Additionally, the flute is typically made of metal or other materials, while many woodwinds are traditionally crafted from wood.

That is a very simple question, the reason being is because if you compare a flute to a trumpet, a flute is a lot quieter, so the flute is in the front because it is softer. Woodwinds are a lot quieter, and bass instrumeants need to be in the back because the lead part should be whats hears the most. So answering your question, it is because woodwinds are a lot quieter than brass or percussion.
