How to set the iOS keyboard on alphabetical order

I work with people with disabilities, and I often find a need for an iOS keyboard that is in ABC alphabetical order. Some apps provide a 3rd party install, but this solution is still inaccessible for some individuals. Many are cognitively disabled, and having to click the globe to switch to the ABC order keyboard is difficult for some to remember and for others to tap physically. I also work within a large school district that is getting increasingly strict with the ability to add apps and involves a lengthy approval process. I would like to see Apple's accessibility department include an ABC-ordered keyboard for cognitive disabilities. One that replaces the qwerty keyboard as a selection under General: Keyboards.

You may want to send feedback to reach those who work behind-the-scenes at Apple. They will likely not reply, yet your feature-request will reach those who could make changes. If Apple receives similar requests from others as well, we may see changes in a future update.

All the best :-)
