Weird behavior change GCP from 10 preset mode to 4 preset mode?!?

I have the following "problem" with my GCP. I'm still completely new to this stuff so don't know if it's normal, but I think it's odd.
I am still in 10 presets / bank mode.
I give my presets names and assign the triaxis to channel 1, and my gmajor to channel 2.
When I press footswitch 1 (top left) my triaxis displays nicely # 01 and when I press footswitch 2, the Triaxis switches to # 02.
So far, so good
Now I want to switch to 4 presets / bank mode. What happens now is that preset 1 (clean) has now moved to footswitch 2 (from the bottom row) instead of footswitch 1. Because under footswitch 1 it now says init.
What is also striking is that Clean, which falls under switch 2 in the 4 preset mode, still outputs # 01. And switch 3, # 02 and keep going.
Surely it is not logical that this changes by the 4 preset mode? Or am I doing something wrong?

What you are seeing is actually normal, counter intuitive as that seems per the top panel layout. ;)

The presets start with preset “0” in 10 Presets per Bank. When switching Bank modes preset 00 in 10 Presets per Bank mode becomes preset 01 in 4 Presets per Bank mode as it is the first preset location.

If you’re going to stay with 4 Presets per Bank mode now you can go into each preset starting with preset 02 and use the ‘Move To’ setting to decrement each preset to its new location.

Okay I can still understand.
I reset everything to factory settings for my test.
But what I see is that when I set it to 4 preset mode, button 2 is assigned to # 01 and button 1 is set to # --.
So this had no program number.
But it cannot be the case that I have to move all presets 1 place?

I made a video of what I mean.

I have now solved it by setting the start number from 00 instead of 01.
Because of this I actually assign address 00 to button 0, but that button is not physically there because numbering starts from 1 in the 4 preset mode.
Very cumbersome, but is this the way to match the number of the GCP with the devices it controls?

Do I understand that you want to say that I can manually change the preset to the desired location? Because that also causes problems.
As an example the video below. I modified the first 3 presets by hand. Then I want to do that with preset 4. When I open it, it is still set to # 03. Then I change it to # 04. But if I then go up one bank and then open preset 11, it is also set to # 04. I can also set this one up again to # 05, but then I just keep changing all the settings. Can't it be that everyone had to adjust it like that ?!
