The pin numbers in a schematic do not have anything to do with the pin numbers on a specific package (i.e. footprint.) A device often has multiple package options with different pin numbers. There is usually just one schematic symbol for the device. In my CAD software, I implemented a map that relates the schematic pin names (they are not even numbers, they are text) to package pin numbers.

Hi yef
This is my TL431 file for comparison.

Hello, Its the same thing, So did i connect the chip correcly ?
So i wont have a surprise when I'll get the PCB.

Hi yef,
The numbers are for model nodes, not IC Body pins.
Re look at this correction.

but in the data shhet is another pin order .
So i need to connect the layout as shown below?
Yes.
To reiterate, the Spice model shows a node number, not a pin number.
It is normally unrelated to the actual package pin number, since that can vary between different packages.

When designing the TL431 footprint for the PCB, ignore the spice model.
Use the schematic and pin orientation shown on the datasheet for the physical package you will use.
