I don't think blindly following any convention is good. Sometimes it makes sense to group a few parameters, take this toy example for instance:

    void drawrect(
        Surface *surf,
        int x, int y,
        int width, int height,
        uint32_t color);

Grouping relevant arguments just makes it a bit more legible. It's even more useful when calling the said function (assuming function with a lot of parameters, say XCreateWindow).
