Fleet carrier landing pad 14 & 16 location swapped

Can someone explain the logic for why the left side of the fleet carrier has small landing pads 13 and 16, and the right side has 14 and 15?

All the other landing pads seem to have a logical order, with the large starting at the back with 1 on the left, 2 on the right, and then progressing forward. The medium ones are 9 and 10 on the left side, 11 and 12 on the right side - the lower number being towards the back just like with the large ones. I could also see the logic of them being 9 on the left, 10 on the right, 11 on the left, 12 on the right.

But then the small ones are 13 and 16 on the left, and 14 and 15 on the right. Why not 13 and 14 on the left and 15 and 16 on the right? There doesn't seem to be any logic to that.

No-one knows why. Probably just some mix-up no-one thinks is important enough to fix.

But it's still nothing compared to whatever the hell goes on with house numbering in my neighbourhood of the town I live in—you'd think that "Street A nr. 10" is near to "Street A nr. 11", but nope, not only is it nowhere near it, you can't even access it from Street A, but have to go around via Street B and turn to Street C, on which it actually is, right next to "Street D nr. 179". And no-one has yet figured out if "Street A nr. 9" even exists, yet there are 7 different companies registered to that address🤪

In Finland (where I am), the odd numbers are on one side of the street, the even on the other. So in some cases if there's a large park on one side and a lot of houses on the other, the numbers can get out of sync by quite a lot. At least they are sequential.

In some cases a block has been combined with another, and you get new numbers like "5-7" (note that it skips the 6, since it's on the other side of the street). In other cases a block has been split, which makes it impossible to get a sequential number without having to re-number all the other blocks, so they have 5a and 5b, which is different from A and B, which would mean entrance A and B.

So you can have Streetname 5a B, for example.

The world is messy and complicated.

Speaking as somebody who's landed on an FC and not noticed it wasn't mine until I tried to swap ships, I haven't really noticed this but still...

Sounds like the pads are numbered rotationally, starting with the top-left pad, thus you get:-

[13] [14]
[16] [15]

The medium pads might be numbered in the same way, but starting with the rear-left, thus you'd get:-

[10] [11]
[09] [12]

Dunno if that's how the pads are numberedd, though. 🤷‍♂️

As long as I have somewhere to land, I don't honestly care how the numbering runs...
As already mentioned, RL numbering of assets can be entertaining, although there may be countries in the world where it is perfect, of course. (I'm thinking where I live, half of the odd numbers are in a little cul de sac off the road, confuses some delivery drivers who miss the sign pointing this way! (and I live at the end of it!))
