none are set in stone here is mine LiquidCrystal lcd(52,50,48,46,44,42);
compaired to

LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

you just have to keep them in the same order

All it would have taken is a few more comments in the example sketch ....

//LiquidCrystal lcd(RS, E, D4, D5, D6, D7);
LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12);      // put your pin numbers here
