Questions relating to designing PCBs

Hi,

In one of my design, I am using a MPS2907A transistor. When choosing this part in eagle, I see that the pinout doesn't match. My transistor has a EBC pinout but the part in eagle has a CBE pinout. I can't find anything in the datasheet that talks about a CBE pinout. So I'm thinking that I might be overlooking something. Or could it be that the part in eagle has a bug? Is that a common thing?

Also, none of the transistor in eagle seems to have the footprint that I'm looking for. The transistor has the very common tree legs close together, but it seems that I will need to bend the legs if I use the provided footprint. I do understand that I could create my own part, but for such a common thing, I shouldn't need to.

Thank you.
