Each sharp or flat in a key signature is a fifth away from the last, just like the keys in the Circle of Fifths. The order of sharps, which go clockwise along the Circle of Fifths, is: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯, B♯. The order of flats, which go counterclockwise along the Circle of Fifths, is: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, C♭, F♭.
