The alphabet should go in this order:

aeiou ywh vf bp mnlr zs jdt gqckx

Voiced before unvoiced, tongue placement only gradually moving if possible.

Of course that's very anglocentric because in most European languages j is pronounced like y, not like dzsh, so would go been y and w, and for example in German, z is pronounced ts, so should go the other side of s, next to d.
