Default Magneto Ignition Switch....

Hello,

Rarely in aviation design do things get done by accident - they are usually done for a good reason. With this in mind, can anyone shed any light on why the ignition key switch (on a C172 SP at least) is laid out:

Right - Left - Both

Instead of going from Left - Right - Both as logic would suggest.

Thanks for your input.
