The gear shift in my wife's car has the selection in the usual order. The CVT transmission also operates like Steve thinks one should. She's the one who chose the car, and I'd never driven a car with a CVT or even paid attention they had them before we bought hers. I thought driving it would be wierd, but turned out to feel normal after the first few minutes. When you think about, that's the way an "automatic" transmission should feel and operate. It matches the RPMs to the work needed for the situation, and I've never seen it over 2,500 RPMs except when I've put the accelerator down to pass or something similar. Of course not knowing anything about cars, she doesn't think anything about it. If this transmission doesn't take an early crap in the future, I'd get another if I wanted an automatic.
