Those are SO not in the order I remember back when I used to pay.
It was:
STR
INT
WIS
DEX
CON
CHA.
As an added bonus, I remember the coin on the character sheets as being:
Gold
Silver
Copper
Platinum
Electrum
Probably helps to know I played in the late 70’s when campaigns like Keep on the Borderlands was a new thing and came in a box.
Hey, I’m all for nostalgia, but reordering it to separate the physical stats from the mental ones was a very good idea. I’m pretty sure my first game back when I was… 10? (long time ago)… also used the Str Int Wis order. But you know… that order got changed REAL fast… 2e, iirc. And good riddance.
