I base my response on this:
Which was the first 'official' character sheets I ever saw. Before these were available I used pen and paper, but I did write the stats in this order.
I flipped through a recent notebook to ensure that I write them in the same order still:
The confusion starts with this 5th Ed Sheet:

Is that one of the differences between D&D and Pathfinder? Does everyone else already know this & I am just late to the game?
So confused....
