I think you’re referring to the ASCII codes used to store characters in computers. In that list the first 32 codes (numbered from 0 to 31) are non-printable characters, sometimes called “control characters.” They cause printers and other devices to perform certain actions (moving to a new line, for example).

The first printable character is ASCII 32, which represents a space. The exclamation point comes next, represented by 33. So the exclamation point is the first non-blank printable character, but a space will sort first.

For a full list in order, see this link…

The question is not a valid one. Punctuation marks, such as ! can not be sequenced with the alphabet. The exclamation mark cannot be placed into alphabetical order because it is not part of the alphabet.

In fact the exclamation mark did not appear on keyboards until the 1970’s. Handwritten forms of it can be traced back to 1400’s.
