why is the alphabet in that order? who put it in that order? and why do we do what they say?

I'm not sure if it was the Greeks or the Arabs, but they should both be called up for an explanation.
phonecians... supposedly. it's very abritrary. I wonder at the reason for this order.
the letter C for instance. IT'S REDUNDANT! we don't need letter redudany. We can use S or K in it's place. The C doesn't deserve 3rd place.
C has it's uses in other languages. It's just because English uses Latin characters, and therefore has to double up on some sounds. e.g., C.
yet many latin languages put the alphabet in a different order
lolagrrl... mmm.. shoot and leaves... om nom nom nom.
