Answer Order

I have a poll set with Answer Order set to "Order"; I believed that to be the order I have input the answers to the Poll.

In my case 3 date options:

1: April 11th
2: April 18th
3: April 25th

The order displayed on the front end is reverse answer order: 3,2,1 not 1,2,3 as I expected.

Am I misunderstanding this functionality?

Thanks
