Bars not matching?

Not sure if this a bug or WAI, but it appears that the appearance of the three bars don't seem to match the circles above the token. As seen in the image below. Double clicking on the token to open up the character settings, I don't see a way to reorganize them so they appear red-green-blue, like it shows above the token. Am I just being silly and not seeing the obvious answer? Thoughts?
I think it was done that way on purpose. If you are only going to use the first bar only, It would seem mor elikely to place it in the middle. Although maybe in a future update the will make it so that unused bars won't show at all above tokens?

It is intentional. The Devs decided that the first bar should hold center circle position so that if it is the only bar it isn't on the left.

While that certainly does make sense, it seems to throw the order of things out of whack when that is not the case, as here where all three are being used. There's probably a more elegant solution to this, but I can't think what it might be at the moment. Regardless, it's not game-breaking, so we can deal. :) And thanks for the replies!

How often do you actually look at the cards in the edit token window, though? The GM will look at them when linking them to a character sheet, and you'll look at an unliked bar when you need to change the maximum, but other than that... when?
I am usually the GM for our games, so I look at them often enough when setting up. I can definitely live with it as it is, but my inner OCD would like it better if they were rigidly matching on the card and token. ^_^

Even without looking at it, just the bars vs the circles outside the card are like that. Bars go 1,2,3 circles go 3,1,2. Dont know how many times my players are looking to adjust bar 1..click on token and edit circle 1(which is bar 3), using the logic "first bar=first circle" I have to remind them ignore the order, look for the matching color. Like they will do this: Goto edit the green bar (first bar), click and type -1 in the first bubble Which is bar 3. not bar 1. So to change the first bar, its the middle number, if its the middle bar, it the last number, and if its the last bar, its the first number...(Gets a little 'who's on first' sounding there...) And god forbid you did what we did at the start, make 2 bars the same color....then you'd have no idea if you forgot. Which goes to which now? without knowing the funky order. Looking at it logically you'd assume "3,2,1-bottom middle top" following some sort of pattern, but alas no. :)
