I've read through the linked paper and I can't understand where they get the assertion of 777 characters give 90% coverage. The original paper isn't even about that topic, but rather comparing and contrasting a corpus created

The "alphabetical" order is based on the sound of the word. If you are trying to look up a kanji you don't know in a traditional dictionary, you generally look it up by the radicals (parts) of the kanji or the number of strok
