Directions exchange in number of cells input area

To me, this is odd and likely a bug.
I used pointField.H to build my full cylinder points. I got the following error: 'FOAM FATAL ERROR : Inconsistent number of faces between block pair 0 and 10' Seemed my meshing wasn't matching up. With that said, I was confident I was correctly specifying the right number of cells for (x y z). I found that the top half of my geometry hex blocks were normal: hex (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) (x y z) simpleGrading (1 1 1). I found that my bottom half of geometry was abnormal: hex (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) (y x z) simpleGrading (1 1 1). Notice, the number of cells exchanged. Here is a video that walks through the error: https://youtu.be/bCU2XqcAmgs To Reproduce: Download case files and run: >foamCleanTutorials >foamCleanPolyMesh >blockMesh Code:

"Not a bug. Definition of a block defines its internal coordinate system. You ordered the block the wrong way round. I know: I personally wrote this code in 1994 and use it regularly."- https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update...02959824898%29
Basically, I have sloppy code.  I will work on that. If I figure out where I got confused, I will return and explain what I did to resolve the issue.

In truth, I missed the "local coordinate" information when I read: https://cfd.direct/openfoam/user-guide/v8-blockMesh/
I had numbered the hex block wrong. Vertex 0 --> vertex 1 specifies x1. Here is the new blockMeshDict: Code:
