    nope, because 132 is “einhundert zwei und dreißig” and not “zwei und dreißig und hundert” that it’s inconsistent is what bothers me.

      It’s the same in Arabic! “مئة واثنان وثلاثون” = “hundred and two and thirty” Not sure about German, but the Arabic example can theoretically come with in any order. However, you almost never see it another way
