I heard it as follows:

An American pilot is flying over Australia when he is forced to make a crash landing. He comes to in an Australian hospital. Disoriented and badly hurt, he turns to the nurse in the room and weakly asks “did I come here to die?” The nurse cheerfully replies, “no, mate, you came here yesterday!”

It’s not wrong, I think it just doesn’t count numerals as words (2). Which means that it’s “a,i,o,t,y,” which is indeed in alphabetical order.

Edit: as someone below me so helpfully pointed out, it’s true even if you spell out “two.” So I was right, but also not as right as I could have been.
