Your comment about your brother reminds me that in kindergarten I thought that the line order (alphabetical) had something to do with status. My last name starts with C so I was pretty close to the front, but I had a friend with an A for a last name, so I really wanted to move up.

I told no one of this of course until long after I'd grasped how alphabetical ordering worked myself.

The alphabet is in that order because of the song.
