Yeah, I've seen those. Do you have any idea why they did that? I had twenty or thirty on a recent board and they took so much extra work to double check because they didn't follow convention. I probably read that pinout in disbelief for an hour before I called them to check. I think that's why people number them the counterclockwise way, if they didn't they'd get furious engineers calling them and yelling (I didn't yell, I was just very confused) that they aren't following the standard. There are so many ways to make a mistake in a circuit board already, once someone decided on a numbering scheme momentum probably just kept it going to be honest. Why would you change it when there is no functional difference and it makes mistakes less likely?
