Comment form fields

Don't know if this is the right place to mention it, but has anyone else ever felt that the comment fields are in the wrong order on most Pixelpost blogs?

The default comment form that most people work from has the fields name, website, then email.

I comment on a lot of blogs, more often than not the forms usually have email before website. So often is this the case that my fingers automatically type things in this order and I end up being flagged as spam on PP blogs because my website is in the email field.

This could be an artifact of most other blogs being WordPress, but I've found that Typepad and others are in the same order. I also think it makes sense to put email before website because there's a higher chance of someone having an email address than a website...

What do you guys think? I think when it comes to usability it's good to take the 'element of least surprise' approach... Or maybe I'm just being too picky and should read the form labels properly (in which case don't make them so damn small!). :P
