The keyboard was once in alphabetical order but his cased the keys to wear quickly as highly used keys were next to each other. So a mathematician called Qwerty (see top left of keyboard and read from q) invented the qwerty keyboard which is in use now. This worked by placing common letters beside less used letters; like xcv. X and v are rarely used whereas c is used quite a bit.

What does QUERTY stand for?
"QWERTY" is the nickname for a "standard" keyboard. It comes from the first 5 letters at the left side of the top row of that keyboard. At one time some years ago, an "ABC" keyboard was proposed as an alternative which featured the keys laid out in alphabetical order starting with "ABC" at the left side of the top row of the keyboard. As far as I know, this keyboard version has since thankfully fallen into oblivion.
