When building footprints for connectors do you follow the pin numbering for the connector, or the mating connector? I know what the answer is going to be, I am just fighting with one of the engineers over this and I want to confirm that I am correct.
I have a 96 pin male din connector on the main board, I have a 96 pin female din on the daughter card. The female connector is mounted to the secondary side of the pcb. I tried to tell the Engineer that moving the pins around is only going to make things more confusing to the assembly house. This was his response.

would you PLEASE use the same pin numbers that are on the XYZ.
the part data sheet is totally irrelevant.
it only plugs into one thing. it has no other use.
right or wrong the XYZ is the master document and the only reason for the boards existence.
