iMovie Magic movie clips | Why reverse chronological order?

Can someone explain why Magic Movie iphone/iPad puts all clips in reverse chronological order? My primary use case for this feature is to quickly assemble a video of a birthday party or vacation or event just by dumping a bunch of clips into it and letting the AI trim them and do the music and transitions. When I do this - the film starts at the end and works back… magic movie is so nearly the ‘memories’ that apple killed after iOS 14 but this element makes it unusable

As this forum is for Mac iMovie you might want to post your question on the iMovie for iOS forum. Here's the link:

This is a consumer forum, so we don't have control of or input into Apple's software decisions or engineering.

But, yeah, I can see that reverse chronological order playing of Magic Movie clips would be a major glitch. Hopefully the folks on the iOS iMovie forum will have some helpful suggestions. Maybe its just a setting or a sorting feature issue. Anyway, good luck with this.

Agreed. Useless. This is just a bad joke. A guy who didn't do his job in engineering and a failed quality test process. come on guys at Apple. Please have it fixed ASAP
