Why’s the neutral gear in between the first and second gear? What’s the logic behind 1 N 2 3 4 5 6?

Everyone is missing an important point. At a standstill it is hard to engage a gear from within another gear successfully, if you pass neutral first the gearset starts turning making it easy to engage 1st and ensure it is actually engaged before sending power to it.
