   This is either a situation where you, as a human, are recognising a pattern that isn't explicitly a pattern, or there is a mistake.

   But you're discovering a lot of small bugs that people have missed before so keep logging them - and people can pick them up :)

   Ability.id is the internal pk that we use for ordering it does not map to the pokemon home or the game roms ordering system my best guess on the divergence would be due that order in they were added after the teal mask dlc is different from how home might have defined in their database

   reordering wouldnt work either since we consolidate all the embody aspect abilities internally into 1 ability home has 4 separate ids for each mask so there is also an offset now

   i would recommend using the slug instead of the id

   tldr someone just added them in the order they felt like typing it out

   idt it was in our design plans to conform with pokemon home id mapping for abilities with our ability pk's so i would say its expected behavior tho not sure if its worth the effort to correct given the reordering and how abilities are used widely should be possible with a script though or a lookup table to move stuff around

   pinging @jemarq04 here for his opinion
