Just leave it be. Let's not make mountains out of mole hills. If you're gonna continue to revert something as silly as this, then infoboxes will simply be block-protected upon request on this page. That's all. *crawls back into dark hole* The concept certainly isn't fanon, but using the term "affinity" for it is. Even the chapter we call Affinities…!! is actually about how the natures counter one another, not which one you are born with an aptitude for. In the manga, it's only described as the nature latent in a person's chakra, but that's getting off-topic. Anyway, we have to care because the only way to stop users from needlessly changing the order in the future is to come up with a standard, be that the order used in Jin no Sho, alphabetical order, or something else.
