Engine numbers

Since the thread I've started about the same question in the italian forum got locked with no explanation, I'll post my doubt here hoping it's not against any Non-Disclosure Agreement or any FBI secret .

I know that usually aircraft engines are numbered with 1, 2, 3, 4... starting from the outer left one. My question was: are there manufacturers, airlines, countries, god knows what, that name it in a different way? Maybe swapped, or with any different criteria.

I'm asking because I've always read about this numbering with the word "generally" being written next to it, and I wanted to make it more "sure" in my mind Also, I've never read anything about this topic on the doc4444 & co.
