Advisory 11B-707.6.2 Numeric keys. Telephone keypads and computer keyboards differ in one significant feature, ascending versus descending numerical order. Both types of keypads are acceptable, provided the computer-style keypad is organized similarly to the number pad located at the right on most computer keyboards, and does not resemble the line of numbers located above the computer keys. 
Figure (a) shows a 12-key ascending layout with “1” in the upper left corner, such as a telephone.
