Computers sort by characters in order. In English order, I comes before either X or Y. So the fact that these characters are out of order, while on a computer that orders things numerically->alphabetically, means that every part of this image is out of order, by definition of its medium.

I’m not sure where the infuriating part is. Computers sort by the left-most symbol to the right-most. The fact that the years are in order is correct, even if the Roman numerals are offset, is still in…order…okay now I see.

It should be sorting alphabetically because X, V, and I, don’t go in that order outside of Roman numerals. Fuck now I am mildly infuriated. Not gonna edit so anyone that needs this revelation has it here.
