Alphabetical Order

Alphabetical order is a system whereby strings or characters are placed in order based on the position of the characters in the conventional ordering of an alphabet. it is one of the methods of collation.

Alphabetical Order in Orish
In Orish, unlike most languages, the alphabetical order is not based upon the traditional alphabetical order that came out from the Proto-Semitic alphabetical order, but upon the phonetic features of the sounds of the letters. It started by building a keyboard layout for Orish, and was derived from the keyboard layout. The keyboard layout was built so that the plosive letters were placed in the top row, the fricative letters were placed in the middle row, and the vowel letters were placed in the bottom row. the plosives and the fricatives were arranged from the front to the back in their place of articulation, and wherever there are consonants with the same place and manner of articulation the unvoiced one came first and the voiced one came second. The vowels are ordered like in the traditional order because they were pre-ordered by their phonetic features, so that there is a pair of two front vowels and then two back vowels and the mid vowel came first and the high vowel came second, and the only low vowel came before the two pairs. Ə and the semivowels were placed after the vowels because they are phonetically very similar to vowels. The four remaining letters that are classified as sonorant consonants were placed after the plosive letters because this is the place that remained available for all the four remaining letters after placing all other letters. After building this keyboard layout, the alphabetical order was derived from the keyboard layout, this alphabetical order might be a little bit counter-intuitive for most people because there is no other language in the world with a similar alphabetical order, but when understanding that this alphabetical order is actually logical because it's based upon the phonetic features of the sounds of the letters, it becomes intuitive and everyone can get used to it.
 * The letters P-G represent plosive consonants.
 * The letters M-R represent sonorant consonants.
 * The letters F-H represent fricative consonants.
 * The letters A-Ə represent vowels.
 * The letters Y and W represent semivowels.
