It's only "wrong" according to you.

I see these presented in a different order to their counterparts all
the time. I do however appreciate that it does make more sense and
is easier on the eye, which is why I am more than happy to rectify.

With regards to the follow-up scenario, it makes far less sense for an
already merged patch in a history tree to be reverted, or for history
to be unnecessarily re-written for something as trivial as this.
