Yeah, and some absolutely insist on that.  I did a article for Circuit
Cellar on digital power factor correction that came out about a year ago.  I
submitted my schematics in nice readable form with the pins on the PIC layed
out according to function.  They insisted on changing that so that they were
layed out according to pin number.  I objected, but they insisted on doing
it their way.  I put the readable version of the schematic on my web site so
I wouldn't look quite so stupid.

I know there are people who believe in it both ways, but I was rather
surprised someone believed in the obsure way so strongly as to not let the
author of a article do it his way.
