For the people that do enough electrical wiring that its muscle memory.
What order do you connect the individual wires?
Not that I do a lot of it but I do ground, neutral, hot.
In that order.
I noticed today that a Xantrex inverter/charger manual I was looking at today has the 3 wire wago connectors layed out.
left=neutral
middle=ground
right=hot
It looked weird for a second and I wondered if the natural tendency to go left-right might conflict with the safe practice of ground, neutral, hot in that order.
BTW totally not unrelated, I made big sparks twice today.
I can see why they do it.
Is it a standard?
Is it common?
If you read this far....
