Partly true — historically yes, but not any more.
Until 1994 the Royal Spanish Academy treated CH (and LL) as single letters of the Spanish alphabet (named che and elle) and they were alphabetized separately (CH came after C). In 1994 the Academy changed the rules: CH is now a digraph (two letters, C + H), not a separate letter, and words are alphabetized treating it as c then h. The same change applied to LL. The Spanish alphabet today has 27 letters (including Ñ).
