Wrong Pin Numbers in PS/2 socket

Today I spent almost the whole working day to make (solder) a few adapters to remedy my PCB designing error. The problem was that I used MINIDIN-6 surface-mount female socket on my PCB, and I incorrectly routed PCB tracks to pins of that socket. It revealed that I used mirrored view of the socket when direct, non-inverted view should be used. Only one additional checking procedure would save me almost a whole working day.
