The sequence is the normal alphabetic sequence of letters, that, as written in their English names, begin with vowels, thus the next two letters and following in the sequence are R, S, U, X

a, bee, cee, dee, e, ef, gee, aitch, i, jay, kay, el, em, en, o, pee, cue, ar, ess, tee, u, vee, double-u, ex, wye, zed


The letter H, in Irish English and sometimes in Austrailian and British English is spelled haitch, which would remove it from the sequence.  On the other hand, the letter Z, in American English, has also formerly been called izzard, which could place it at the end of the sequence.
