> alphabets, universally have one common property: they are sortable.
Isn't this just an arbitrary order? Why could I not assign numbers to chinese characters and sort them? I know next to nothing about Chinese.

yeah but there are very limited number of alphabetical letters and commonly agreed order as a convention.
There's no such a thing in Chinese. For example, you can't easily sort names by A-Z in Chinese except PinYin (or Unicode codepoints for what matters)
