That makes sense - I didn't notice that. However, on my system this is exactly
as delivered from the install, so I think that most people will probably find
that father is first. Either way, I think it is still incorrect behaviour.
Perhaps a sensible workaround might be to make the field required, so that you
can't leave it blank? I can't immediately think of a scenario where you
wouldn't want to specify what the relationship is.
