Folks who wear button up shirts: do you start buttoning from the top button or the bottom?

I start from the bottom. You can line up the buttons without needing to look in a mirror. I don't understand why anyone would start buttoning from the top. It's just less efficient. Explain your reasoning

@FLOSSeveryday I start in the middle, not joking.
Christ, you're the kind of person who'd start a banana from the middle too, aren't you? AREN'T YOU?
Just kidding, but I actually am curious why you find that better, it seems like begging for an off by one buttoning.
Not op, but I also start from the middle. By which I mean I go top down, but leave the top few buttons loose and then decide how high I want to button it. The muscle memory is the same for whether I'm wearing a tie or not.
And you don't end up misaligned? Is the muscle memory just that good?
So, my button shirts are flannel, but I start in the middle, too. If you get the shoulders on square and stand up straight, the buttons line up automatically. I never have errors when I button this way.
pull on the collar first. square the points, and pull on the crease to get the shirt to sit right,
I've never really experienced misaligned buttons; it always felt like a movie trope, like toilet paper on your shoe.
I have, in my life, experienced both. You had better appreciate me taking more than one for the team to maintain the averages in the face of your dereliction of embarrassment.
I start in the middle, too. Not as weird as I thought, I guess!
I start upper middle, go up, then go down.
