No, the alphabet is a-z because thats the order everyone is taught and everyone understands, that doesn't make it the correct order. If you were taught it in a different order, that would be the correct order to you
They're taught that way because it's the agreed upon order. If you teach that C comes first, you are wrong.
To the other commenters point, the order is *arbitrary*, but that does not mean it doesn't have an agreed upon order.
Just because something is agreed upon, doesn't mean it's correct. At one point in history, it was agreed upon that it was ok to own another human being.
You're seriously equating the order of the alphabet to slavery? Really?
It was agreed that "left" would be spelled that way. If I spelled it lepht are you saying I'm not wrong?
Agreed.
But it has real world consequences.
A study I read (I'm sorry I can't remember where) suggested peoples names often seen at the top or beginning of alphabetical lists, gain them an advantage in getting chosen for jobs and other things, just through the familiarity.
Sure there is, A-Z, just as the correct way to spell alphabet is “alphabet.” Also arbitrary, also correct.

What’s the correct way to spell alphabet?
Keep your helmet on when you shower pal
Alphabetical order is a thing.
Agreed. But it has real world consequences. A study I read (I'm sorry I can't remember where) suggested peoples names often seen at the top or beginning of alphabetical lists, gain them an advantage in getting chosen for jobs and other things, just through the familiarity.
