In[]:= f[0] := 0;f[1] := 1;f[n_] := f[n - 1] + f[n - 2]

In[]:= DownValues[f]
Out[]:= {HoldPattern[f[0]] :> 0, HoldPattern[f[1]] :> 1, HoldPattern[f[n_]] :> f[n - 1] + f[n - 2]}

In[]:= DownValues[f] = Reverse[DownValues[f]]
Out[]:= {HoldPattern[f[n_]] :> f[n - 1] + f[n - 2], HoldPattern[f[1]] :> 1, HoldPattern[f[0]] :> 0}

In[]:= DownValues[f]
Out[]:= {HoldPattern[f[0]] :> 0, HoldPattern[f[1]] :> 1, HoldPattern[f[n_]] :> f[n - 1] + f[n - 2]}

====================================================
My question is:  

    Why does the order of down values comes back after reordering?

Thanks.
