While I don't personally insist on straight numeric others do and I will show my number when asked. Usually someone in the group starts that discussion and then the sub group rearranges once everyone starts comparing.
Considering how crammed all of the gate areas are, I can't see any value in pushing everyone and their carry-ons out of my way so that I can get on the plane two people sooner. If someone in my subgroup wants to take their spot in front of me, I let them squeeze by. However, I can't find the value in being B-12 vs B-14. The plane all gets there at the same time. Exit rows don't matter to me either since I am usually traveling with kids.
