number sequence puzzle deep six

$begingroup$

Just a quick puzzle I just thought up. (so apologies if this has already been done)

Here's numbers 1 to 5 in a sequence:

5-4-1-3-2

I now want to add the number 6 into the sequence, but where should I place it?

What should the new number sequence be, and why?

p.s. title isn't a clue

I would put it

Between the 1 and 3 to get 5-4-1-6-3-2

Because

Then the numbers are in alphabetical order (when written in English).

I would put the six inbetween

five and four,

as the first three numbers are set up so that

the three is put in the middle of the first two numbers, so the next three are a mirror of it.
