When you rearrange your attributes in your character sheet, they still show up in 'order created' to the GM on the bar dropdown options.

For example this is the order the player moved them around into to make it more tidy:

but they still show up in created order on the token options:

With players creating the 8 stats and various other stats and such in different orders on their sheet, them rearranging them correctly, it gets messy for the GM to quickly pick say "4th one down' when no matter how you sort them character wise, the token uses creation order sorting.
