Radical 小

3 strokes

When “small” occurs at the top of other characters, it sometimes takes the form (see Character 267). For using 小 with names, see the note on 老 lǎo (Character 264).

The stroke order for this character follows the “center before symmetrical sides” rule, which overrides the “left to right” rule.
