You are missing to explain WHY this is the wrong ordering.

You are missing to explain HOW you fix it. It's completely non obvious
why the conversion to an parse array makes it work.

Here you revert the parse order.

Once more.

Please add proper explanations why the array parser is required and
why the parse order needs to be reverse.
