Forty (40) has the letters placed in alphabetical order.
Eight is the only single digit number to be spelled with all of its letters in alphabetical order. Eighty is another such number, but it is two digits. I'm not sure if there are others.
The only number that meets that criteria is forty. The rest of the numbers do not go in alphabetical order, for example eight, the i comes after the h.
