In history, it differed. U and V are interchangeable in Latin.
Initially, it was,
A B C D E F H I K L M N O P Q R S T U/V X
Then, they added "G" an mutation of "C" which can be seen from the Roman names Gnaeus and Cnaeus, which are the same name, but spelled differently. They then added "Y" to accommodate foreign words, same with the "Z"
A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R S T U/V X Y Z
Then, in the Middle Ages, people began to alter the "i" to a "j"…as when "i" was in the beginning of a word, it had a "y" sound. So, the alphabet became;
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V X Y Z.
There is no letter "W" in Latin.
Actually in Ancient Latin the letter V is used for U, V, & W (as a vowel, V is used for U, V V = W? "Double U" in English is "Double V" in French.).
And there were no J. The letter I (letter after H) is used for I, J, & Y sounds (I and J has the same sound). Y & Z were taken from Greek.
