It's the alphabetical order of the letters. All the others go middle-first-last, but SOP goes last-first-middle.

In each set of three letters the first and last are in order alphabetically with one letter missing, i.e  A-C, B-D, C-E (I'm sure someone else can put this more coherentlySmile )
all except SOP
Your explanation was correct!
The Official Answer is "SOP. In the others, the consonants are next but one to each other in the alphabet.!

I cheated and know full well I'd have not got the answer in a million years. I'm sure some of you clever types might.

My guess: they are the only letters that don't appear in something famous (like the Declaration of Independence), but what the something is, I don't know!

Think of the sound of the letters, or more appropriately, think of the sound of the letters they're not.
Now that was clear as mud wasn't it? Smile

Okay, I think I may have it. Though my answer is difficult to describe or hint at! And still might be wrong...

I Googled it too. I was not correct! However, I do think my answer may still be a valid one, even if it's not the "right" one.
