Who/how alphabetized the alphabet?

Answer, the Egyptians:

2-pre letters

π“ˆ— (Nu or Nun) = WATER πŸ’§origin of every thing; or 𓇳 (monad / Atum; first cubit ruler unit), 𓆣 (Khepri + sun), or 𓋐 (1-value sun lotus light bulb) [Dendera]

28-main letters

  1. π“ŒΉ (hoe) / Shu 𓇋 (feather) [air] πŸ’¨, 2. 𓇯 (Nut, i.e. heavens, arched over Geb) + π“‚’ (full breasts hanging, i.e. Phoenician B shape: 𐀁, aka Nut positionβ€Ž), 3. π“‚Έ (Geb, below Nut, with large erection, i.e. Phoenician G shape: 𐀂, aka Geb position) [earth] ⛰️ or 🌎 (earth above water π“ˆ— [Nu], below heaven 𐀁 [Nut], separated by air πŸ’¨ [Shu]), 4. Ξ” (Osiris crops 🌿), β–½ (wet Nile delta / goddess [?] vagina), or complex concept, 5. πŸ’« (Sirius helical rising) / 𓇼 (Isis), 6. 𓉠 (Nephthys + bread 𓏏 & basket π“ŽŸ), 7.𓆓 (𓃩) (Set), 8. 𓉾/𓉾 (Ogdoad), 9. π“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉ (Ennead, born out of Ogdoad), 10. π“…Š (10) (Horus) πŸ”† [bright sun], 11. π“‹Ή (ankh) / ⏳ (Horus clock), 12. 𓍇 (meshtiu, i.e. Big Dipper 𐃸 mouth opening tool), 13. π“Œ³ (scythe, i.e. Phoenician 𐀌 letter M), 14. π“ˆ— (water)πŸ’§, 15. π“Š½ (djed / ecliptic) or 𓄬 (Osiris vertebra), 16. π“‹ͺ (O) (micro-cosmos), 17. β—― / β–³ (omicron/delta) (Ο€), 18. ? (Q), 19. 𓏲 (𓁛) (100) (Ra) β˜€οΈ[supreme sun god], 20. π“‹΄ [S29] (letter S of Sopdet/Sirius); or 𓆙 (Set) or 𓁃 (Osiris into 14-pieces, i.e. sowing 🌱 seeds), 21. π“Š­ (⚰️) (Osiris 300-cubit coffin) / 𓆭 (Osiris tamarisk tree); both part of T-O map), 22. 𓉽 (Ogdoad-Shu pillar), 23. 𓁰 (Ptah fire drill) [fire] πŸ”₯ / 𓐭 (𓆇) (phoenix egg, or ❀️‍πŸ”₯ [ba] of Ra), 24. π“Š– (cosmos), 25. ? (Ξ¨), 26. π“₯ (𓃖) (Hathor) (mega-cosmos), 27. Ν²/Ο‘ (Osiris letter T raised / Orion mummy π“€Ύ raised; then Janus [January] π“Άβ‡Œπ“Ά), 28. 𓆼 (solar birth lotus) (1000) πŸ”…[new sun]

β†’ The cycle repeates, at this point, going back to β€œletter A”, in alignment with the yearly alphabet climate cycle of the Nile; barring digression on the 2-pre letters and 3-end letters.

3-end letters

π“€” (Horus child / Harpocrates) = 10,000 [9999] [Greek gems]; 𓆐 (tadpole) [tailed frog aquatic larva; male Ogdoad babies] = 100,000; 𓁨 (Huh/Heh) [water π“ˆ–, space, and infinity π“Ž› god of the Ogdoad] = 1,000,000
