Here are links to stroke-order animations for a small set of similar characters which I realized I'd gotten confused about.  Hopefully it's helpful for someone else, and doesn't cause anyone to become confused! [-:

七
匕
北
兆
比

I can't see the animation on the tufs page, but I'd think the first stroke should be left to right, not right to left.  Is that how it is on that page?

Yeah, i'm pretty sure left to right is the "correct" stroke order.

whenever you have doubt just copy the kanji onto google with "stroke order"

there is a chinese site called VisualMandarin that has the stroke order for every kanji I've searched so far.

eg

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=%E6% … =firefox-a

Yep that's what it says in my kanji practice book for Japanese kids

Chinese stroke order isn't always the same as japanese, though I have no idea how common this is. One example is 必

Chinese: http://content.visualmandarin.com/resources/images/large_2167106981.gif
Japanese: http://jisho.org/static/images/stroke_diagrams/24517_frames.png

I've always been checking stroke order from jisho.org, but it has few mistakes as well (with RTK1 kanji, jisho has maybe 3-5 errors in stroke order that I noticed).
