A good question (meaning I don't know the answer :)

It could be that whoever chose the values couldn't decide
which should be higher, or more likely it was thought
that the two would never appear together, so they could
be the same.

What order would you like?

Yes.  I believe in this case it depends on the order
in which they appear in the .ly file.
