I agree completely, this is one of the main difficulties for new (and also somewhat experienced) users.
My own approach is to compare the schematic part pin numbering with the default Spice pin sequence (eg, CBE) to have an initial idea of the alternate node sequence. This usually works. If not, I’ll go into the model to check.
But for this you need to know the Spice default pin sequence first…
That’s the reason I suggested the modified comment text.
But tedious it is…
