shorthand for item stats?

[zebulin]

When someone posts a description of an item, Tal's lidless eye (or "orb") 2/1/2 for instance how do people know what order the stats are listed in? CAn you just look the item up at arreat summit and assume the stat listed closest to the top there corresponds to the stat listed furthest left in posts elsewhere?

[Evrae Altana]

The stat listed first usually is the one that appears closest to the top.
