It's just the order kernel module detected them. There's really no "first" or "second" device here. They are equal. It's just that when printing them out, one of them had to be printed out first. So, they are not "reversed" regardless of the output of "cat /proc/mdstat". Simply because there no such thing as "reversed" ;-)
