its made so that you can optimize time while typing.
The order is so that in your language, its faster to write; less hands moving. Both hands are used for each words..

The order is not the same in true french keyboard (AZERTY) and english keyboard (QWERTY), which mean the top line starts with letters qwerty.

Most keyboards are set up as QWERTY, here is the Wikipedia entry for that:
