Default A different Bm chord question

I did not want to hijack muffinhead's thread about the Bm barre chord.
On previous threads I have mentioned my limited use of my fretting hand's pinkie finger.
I recently found that I could play this "little" Bm version after avoiding it in practice and songs.
But just last night I noticed that I have been playing it with fingers 3 and 4 reversed.
My pinkie is on the D string, 4th fret.
Anyone else? Is this a problem that I should attempt to correct?

I play it the same way you play it, which makes sense to me since one can also play this shape with the D-string open (putting the 3rd in the bass -Which I thinks sounds quite good on minor chords).

If it works it works.

I had problems with it too, for a long time.

It kept coming up in songs I wanted to play that used it ,so I just practiced it until I got it.
