user interface - Standard placement order for common buttons -

i know in microsoft windows, ok/cancel buttons appear in respective order. on other hand, in linux distros, saw cancel/ok instead.

what (yes/no), (yes/no/cancel), (add/edit/remove) , other mutual buttons?

is there standard placement order these?

from microsoft windows user experience interaction guidelines:

right-align commit buttons in single row across bottom of dialog box, above footnote area. if there single commit button (such ok).

present commit buttons in next order:

ok/[do it]/yes [don't it]/no cancel apply (if present) help (if present)

from apple human interface guidelines:

the buttons @ bottom right of dialog dismiss dialog. button initiates action furthest right. action button confirms alert message text. cancel button left of button.

if there’s 3rd button dismissing dialog, should go left of cancel button. if 3rd button result in info loss—don’t save, example—position @ to the lowest degree 24 pixels away “safe” buttons (cancel , save, example).

a button affects contents of dialog itself, such reset, should have left border aligned main dialog text or if there help button, 12 pixels right of it.

from java , sense design guidelines:

if dialog box has default button, create first command button in group. example, in languages read left right, default button leftmost button.

some of above conflict 1 another. may find advice conflicts vendors own applications. however, follow guidelines operating scheme of selection , stick them. @ to the lowest degree way have consistancy within own output , vast bulk of other apps on platform.
