The kanji provided are good, but could you put the post in an order that makes more sense (1,2...5, person, day)?  

[Hermonie Urameshi]

This is order of first seven kanji learned in 1st grade.
一　人　八　力　十　九　二

The order in my University text:

山日田人上下中
大小本学生先私川

I have yet to find a "standard" order, which is why I'm
going by my dictionary rather than my textbook, since
it's my primary resource for kanji and kana.

★★★

 

[Hermonie Urameshi]

I can give you the whole order that the Japanese learn.

That's alright. Most people voted for not wanting more of these threads,
so I'm just going to lock this and pretend it never happened.
