You guys are mathematicians not letterematicians.

Also, I'm doing engineering shit and I still need to count using my fingers when calculating something on a multiplication table

As a math guy, obviously the order of the letters is: x, y, z, a, b, c, then the rest of them in whatever order I currently feel like.

As a CS guy, obviously the order is sort( [ set of all letters ] ).

You forgot i, j, k

It's actually x, y, z, a, b, c, i, j, k, e, and then whatever, they don't matter.

You forgot p, q

They can be handy and come before e
