a QWERTY keyboard is arranged like it is because back when it was invented typewriters had to accommodate for metal arms that would type the letters. In other early typewriter keyboards these arms would hit each other when typing fast. The QWERTY keyboard solved this problem and it became the standard.
There are different keyboards used today. Google QWERTY and Dvorak.
