Two Oddball placed pets in a group

[Autvmn]

Hello!

Another kinda oddball question, I used to have more than just these two rats (no idea if I still have them or not but they were all from 2011), but they're both from 2011 with 2011 dates but they sit in the middle of my 2015/2014 pets in this one group, ive attached a screenshot- but they've done this since ive acquired them ages ago. Any idea why? Ive never been able to figure it out.

Sometimes pets are remade, such as if there was a scam but the pets were traded too many times to just reverse them, so a new one is made with the next available ID but given their original adoption date. Pets are ordered by ID number, so recreated pets will usually sit in different places in groups.

Ah thank you so much! I figured it had something to do with the ID number but wasnt sure how they got those, thank you!

Straight from the FAQ:

Why is my pet appearing in the wrong place in my group? / Adoption date does not match group placement?

Sometimes pets have to be recreated for various reasons. When this is done, the pet is assigned the next possible ID number. Though the adoption date is manually changed to the correct one, groups are sorted by ID number and the pet will appear according to its ID number rather than its date. It's perfectly normal and doesn't affect the pet or its value.

Just as the user stated above, sometimes these pets come from either scammers or cheaters who will delete pets in order to hide or cover up their tracks, or they may come from accidents and have to be recreated.
