I'm sorry, I meant to say "numerical". I want to thank "Stupid Girl" for brining this error to my attention.

Good question! I seem to recall someone saying it goes back to when people were expected to use10-key calculators very quickly. The lay-out of the numbers in that order is supposed to facilitate that. Can't swear to it, but it seems I heard that somewhere.
