The are aranged in a "proper order"
They are aranged so that the keys used most are in the centre, with lesser used keys under the less dexterous fingers, such as Q and P
It also allows the makers of early typewriters to NOT have the keys often used consecutively right next each other, allowing for less jamming of arms.

Once upon a time keyboards were of a practical layout,and typists hit speeds the machine could not match without breaking, rather than build a better machine a new keyboard layout was used, called the qwerty for the first 6 keys in the upper left. The qwerty keyboard is awkward and slow so that the typing machines didn't break. If you want to see an alternative keyboard, look up the dvorak keyboard pattern
it is much more logical.

you can re arrange it if you want. just gently remove the keys and attach it again on proper order.
