Width before length

[archark1]

Where is it stated about ordering of dimensions in cad notations
width then hieght, width then legth then hieght, etc.

 

[KENAT]

Could you give some context?

For slots ASME Y14.5M-1994 shows width then length in figure 1-35.

Otherwise I'm not aware of a convention for this - usually it's indicated in drawing views unless I'm missing something.
