The numbers are bizarre, I know some old sports cars had inversed gear sticks but r -> 2 looks weird, any car amateurs around to help?

Edit: Thanks! It's not weird! Maybe slightly unusual but that's all!

i drive a 2009 alfa romeo 159

you have to lift a ring on the bottom of the shifter to get into reverse and then 1st on top left, 2nd below, 3rd top middle all the way to 6th bottom right

Aah yeah it was the R place that threw me off, thanks!

Remember my friend lending me his ford(? a loong time ago) with that ring and I spent 15 sweating minutes to figure out how to go backwards :-D
