Why is everything QWERTY, yet the keyboard on TV’s are alphabetically ordered. It always throws me off.

Oh. It's because you're typing with a remote and not a physical keyboard, so it would be basically pointless to use QWERTY with an onscreen keyboard such as that. Also, not all speakers of languages that use the Roman alphabet use QWERTY but most speakers of languages that use the Roman alphabet know the Roman alphabet and it's order

Yeah ig for non-english speakers it would be good. However, for most people it’s easier to find the letters with qwerty. Maybe there is a setting you can change to get qwerty though.
