Question

Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? ?

Answer 1

The alphabet is based on the Latin and Greek alphabets, which, in turn, are based on the Hebrew and Phoenician alphabets.

The word "alphabet" contains a hint as to its origins.

Alpha (Greek) came from Aleph (Hebrew)--the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

Bet comes from the Greek Beta, which came from the Hebrew Bet (or Bes), the second letter of the Hebrew alplhabet.
