QWERTY layout was developed to place the most commonly used alphabet combinations together. For example, keys 'E' & 'R' appear next to each other which can be easily pressed by using the index & middle finger of your left hand. This helps users to 'touch type'.
There are other types of keyboard layouts too. Dvorak layout is also a popular layout.
Fun Fact:
The word typewriter can be typed entirely using the top row of the QWERTY keyboard !
