It makes way more sense to me to add the larger numbers first and then the smaller numbers, it's what I've always done. I don't even bother to put them in a column because I usually just do it in my head.

It fricked me up on math tests as a kid when I'd have to arrange the numbers in a column and add from right to left. It made no sense to me, or just seemed unnecessary.
