Where is it stated about ordering of dimensions in cad notations
width then hieght, width then legth then hieght, etc.
 
Could you give some context?

For slots ASME Y14.5M-1994 shows width then length in figure 1-35.

Otherwise I'm not aware of a convention for this - usually it's indicated in drawing views unless I'm missing something.

Posting guidelines faq731-376 (probably not aimed specifically at you)
What is Engineering anyway: faq1088-1484
