It has become apparent [link] that the Latin alphabet is in dire need of re-ordering. The current ordering (A, B, C,...Z) has no merit over other arbitrary orderings (e.g., Q, W, E,...M), aside from being the marginally rhyming lyrics to a well-known song.
The only ordering that is not arbitrary or
whimsical is a meaningful one.

pangrams. At least one of them ought to make more
sense than that one. |

Yeah but 99.44% of those have repeated letters. This one is "perfect". |
|

No no, there are 400 million billion billion possible
pangrams containing each letter only once. |

Several of them are Greek dentists. |

Oh, yes, indeed (26!). The Wikipedia page on pangrams looked Welsh. |

Welsh doesn't count - it's not really a language.
Hidden microphones have revealed that the Welsh
actually speak English when they think they're alone,
and just make up random combinations of
consonants and phlegm when they're being
overheard. |

Still wondering who bothered to work out that "spoonfeed" is the longest word in English in reverse alphabetical order... |
