Q: Alerts are backwards

I've noticed this issue over several iOS versions but it isn't a big deal, more cosmetic than anything, so never posted or told Apple about this following iOS calendar bug.

 

1. Set an event and then a first alert for say... 1 hour.

2. Then set second alert for 15 minutes.

3. Save it.

 

Now view the iOS Event you created summary screen and you'll see:

 

Alert 15 minutes before

Second Alert 1 hour before

 

Obviously backwards and impossible. Luckily the alerts sound in proper order, hence a cosmetic rather than functional bug.

 

If you have your iOS devices sync to your computer, or create a new Event on iCal OSX, the OSX iCal display is correct event for a sync'd event from an iOS device where the Alerts display in backwards order, as per above:

 

Alert Message 1 hour before

Alert message 15 minutes before

 

I spoke with AppleCare yesterday, and the rep was surprised to have never seen this (tried on her iPhone) or never heard about it in all these years. I think I noticed this back to iOS 5. Odd it's never been fixed, albeit minor.
