I really don't think it matters, maybe spend a day or two playing with the difference and then when you are doing Math u see, say 3 sets of 5 and when you are doing Saxon say 3, five times.

I would just accept either order when the dc writes out the equation from a story problem.

However, I've managed to get through life without it being an issue by always thinking of it as the first number is how many in the set and the second number is how many sets there are.
