A similar thing happened to me.  Don't worry about it, it took about a week to fix.

This is one of the brilliant things about the Heisig method, if you realise you've been making a mistake in one primitive you only have to fix it once, and all the characters that use it are also magically fixed.

You mean you wrote the horizontal line in the middle first? I did that too.

You're supposed to do it for 里 though.

Yeah me too... I think it's because of 里 and 専, etc that made me write the horizontal stroke in 田 first... It doesn't really make sense to have two different orders. If I am concentrating I will do it correctly but otherwise I am not even aware I'm doing it wrong.

Yes.

Yeah, I really don't think it's worth it to try to correct. It will throw my muscle memory off for a while and it won't change anything in the end. I probably would have tried it a few weeks ago, but my lately perfectionism is giving way to a much more practical attitude toward kanji.

Unless somebody is watching you write it and you're paranoid that they may realize you aren't the epitome of anal retentive perfection, or you're planning on doing calligraphy, no big deal. End result looks the same.

knowing the proper stroke order helps a little bit when trying to read some of the cursive/brush kanji.

there is also the possibility of 田 being confused with the right part of 押。
i know it looks way different to you but to some it might look similar (with pen, you can see the middle vertical line creeping a little bit below the bottom horizontal line when you write it incorrectly.)
