For the same reason that GridFlow usually uses (y x) and sometimes (x y) : 
it's because of conflicting standards.

There's worse : if you've read books involving spherical coordinates, 
you'll see that there are perhaps at least five different conventions in 
concurrent use... varying according to whether latitude is signed or 
unsigned ("colatitude") and the six possible orderings of three variables. 
It's crazy.
