I don't think this question is specifically about [dictionary], maybe [handwriting]? Also not sure if "kanji for 冷たい" makes sense per se, anycase I changed it to 冷 to make clear what the question is about

Why is this? Which one is correct? Or are both correct?

EDIT: I suspect the stroke order diagram actually comes from a Chinese font, rather than a Japanese font. I'd like to confirm this.

EDIT#2: Thanks to Lukman for the following screenshot:
