Alphabetically would be my guess, with index tabs of some sort. I would think there would be too much chance of accidentally pulling a question a space above or below (plus it would be a ROYAL pain to switch around his cards between games) if it were based on board pattern. Alphabetically, you load up the podium before you roll tape, and yer set for the show.

My best guess, as well.
When I tried out for the show, there was a box next to the game board with the questions laid out in the same order as the board, but they used the same configuration for every tryout game. (And in case you wondered, since there were many more solo players than family pairs trying out, they put the family pairs together, handed out white and red sticks for the people trying out to hold while playing the game--raising them was buzzing in--and after they'd gone to each family pair the last one would hand their white stick to the next solo player.)
