Channel Names
Channels are sorted by the order they're created, not by name. In fact being able to sort them by name is a top request on UserVoice: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/20589934-sort-order-channels
By default only a handful of channels will be shown, unless you as the creator or the users themselves decide to "pin" them, and all other channels will be hidden under the "hidden channels" menu at the bottom. So I wouldnt worry too much in your scenario.
Thanks for the reply! Appreciate you taking the time to answer.
I'm not sure your reply is completely correct or I am misunderstanding what you are stating. Here is an example of a test team I created. You can see after "general" all channels that start with special characters are next, then channels that start with a number, and finally alphabetical even though I created the channels randomly and not in any specific order.
Also,

This is a accurate even as an owner for the group I click to "automatically show this in everyone's channel list"?
