In fact, I do not see the difference between their stroke orders. All in all, I think the best of stroke order is that it makes writing writing instead of drawing, and mimicking a character is usually easier than mimicking a picture.

For such strokes, they write from the right to the left, but for the other strokes, it seems there is no problem for them.

I tried doing that with English and it wasn't a pretty sight. I agree with Will with seeing a teacher or others write differently is annoying. Even asking them the correct stroke order will result in a blank stare as they're so used to the kanji and how they write it. As for my paper, I have it straight instead of slanted to the side as I do for writing English. I find that when it's straight I tend to write kanji better for some reason. I also learned the correct stroke order from day one so I try to do the correct left to right. I’m also left handed and writing right handed is not an option.

Otherwise it'll be a painful process and, most importantly, you'll risk to be come a very one sided person who knows perfectly one aspect of the language yet fails completely in another which may be satisfying, but definitely not enough for you to be considered as somebody who truly knows the language.
