Line drawing of a keyboard for a printing telegraph. Letters A-M are on the top row and letters O-Z are on the bottom row backward. The keyboard is similar to a piano keyboard if black keys were in all the positions.

A Macbook keyboard, showing the letters that are in alphabetical order in the second row and in reverse alphabetical order in the third row. Specifically, the letters are A, D, F, G, H, J, K, L in the second row and M, N, V, X, Z in the third row. Thus, 13 out of 26 letters have the alphabetical pattern.

I read an interesting paper on the history of the QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard evolved from an 1859 keyboard with half the alphabet in order and the second half backward. You can still see this ordering on the bottom rows of the modern keyboard, although many keys have moved over the years.
