  • i dunno.
    I think the alphabet was created before the song.
    They tried it other ways but it never made a good hit
    It isn't really in that order. I think you are confused.
    Just because.
    partly the song and so they can keep track of the items in the cereal
    why not?
    Alphabet can be put in any order ..it just happens to be in this order... song came after the alphabet
    Such a good question.
    Hello,Steven Wright
    The first letters of the alphabet are usually the ones that are used most frequently. If you take a look at the last ones, they are not used so frequently in everyday speech.
    But the alphabet is based on the Greek one which is a little bit similar of you check:

    A B C D E F G H I J ...
    Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ Ι Κ...
    because it looks and sounds better in that order.
    i do believe it is in the order it is in because of the frequency the letters are used. i do know that the Greeks are credeted for the alphsbet. they came up with the first version.
