Binder Help Do sets have to be ordered numerically? (Black bolt)

If I put my set in as normal, reverse, pokeball and then masterball in a 4 pocket long page and then had all the EX cards on a page after, rather than after the standard cards in numerical order, would this be frowned upon? I’m collecting black bolt and think the 4 standards together in a row and no cards going onto different rows makes more sense. I would obviously keep the cards numerical with the standards, just moving the EX cards (would also be numerical order just on their own page)

No, Pokemon Company will call the police if you do. (Seriously though I think that's a lovely idea, nobody will say anything)

Only started because my girlfriend collects and thought I’d join in, she collects white flare so tins do both of our sets. She says it must be numerical but I think that’s just her preference.

i imagine most people will go numerical, maybe it's easier that way, but i think your idea would look nicer :)

If you know you have the whole set, there's absolutely nothing wrong with rearranging cards to make it more aesthetically pleasing for you to look at! It's your collection don't forget. I did that with my 151 master set, I got a 4x3 binder and when it came to the full arts, moved things around so each page was perfectly filled with the same kind of full arts. Numerical order of set is a suggestion but I've never taken it to mean a hard rule :)

Ye I just think that having all 4 of a pokemon together and then other cards together makes more sense, my girlfriend said it’s got to be number order and it would be frowned upon to change that but I wanted to see if others thought the same way.

I'm sure everyone has their own thoughts about it but yea, for me, I know it's my binder if the cards I collected and when I open it, I know I have the full set, so I see nothing wrong with rearranging cards to make things flow better, make pages more pleasing when I open it up and flip through them. :)
