I've seen posts on here about the different ways people put a deck's cards in order, but the question is usually focused on what's "right", and less on why they choose it. But of course as with anything tarot, there's a "common" and there's a "taught in [such and such tradition]" but there's generally not a "right"... and a whole lot of variability in between.
So! I'm curious to know what you, personally, prefer as the natural order of the suits, and why you feel that way. When you consider the suits of a deck, what progression just feels right to you, and can you pin down some of why that is?
Bonus questions:
Have you changed your approach since first learning?
If you have any decks where wands are air and swords are fire, does that change the order for you? (Or vice versa, for folks for whom swords are fire by default.)
Do you associate certain elements with certain seasons? If so, which ones? And is this related to how you arrange the suit orders?
Bonus bonus question: Do you have a preferential order of playing card suits?
