There are two methods of numbering pins in TO92. One is prefered in Europe, 
while the second one is used in US. 
Compare a datasheet of BC547 from Philips and for example TL431 from 
Fairchild:

http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/TL/TL431A.pdf
So both programs are correct but to diffeent standards :-(
