Because あの belongs together with この, その and どの, I had assumed it would also be classified as a fixed adjective and independant word. However it is classified as a noun on pronoun in it’s details section. I was wondering if there was more information on that or if that was a mistake?

Edit: Imabi says that あの is the adjectival form. Maybe you guys mixed it up with あれ, the pronoun form?
