EXPLANATION:
The question was : What's the first number (spelled out) when arranged alphabetically?
A poster answered "forty".
I answered "eight" because the "e" comes before the "f" in the alphabet.
Did I miss something? Kira

Yes, the letters in forty are the first number to be spelled in alphabetic order
F comes before O
O comes before R
R comes before T
T comes before Y
Forty is the first number to be spelled in alphabetic order.
A contra-example.
Why not eight
E comes before I
I doesn't come before G
Eight is not spelled in alphabetic order.
F comes before O
O comes before R
R comes before T
T comes before Y

The question was "what is the first number spelled in alphabetic order?" That means the individual letters in that word have to be arranged in alphabetical order.
