I used to know an old-school printer guy who talked about everything in picas, and referred to dimensions as lines of type/picas interchangeably. So, if your printer is used to laying out publications based on that unit, they may well think in terms of everything being equal to the height of a line of type rather than the width of the page... it might follow then that you specify the height first to establish the geometry of the page... just a thought.

outdoor they usually run height dimension first...

Width then height people. Make it the legal standard and there will be world peace - and less silly corrections.

x = width
y = height
z = depthand always specify Width * Height
Any other way is objectively wrong. If someone is running round doing this shit they're clearly just stupid and too stubborn to admit it.
