T.O.D. -- Why is it backwards?

In the game, 0.00 = 12 noon, and 0.50 = 12 midnight.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? 12 midnight starts a day and ends a previous day... hence 0.00% of the way through, and 100.00% of the way through (into the first minute of the next day).

0.50 (50%), should mark 1/2 a day, which would be 12 noon, half way between 2 mid-nights.

Quite perplexing if you ask me. If we're to get used to equating TOD with logical time of day in respect to morning-noon-afternoon-night... it would make a lot more sense if the numbers followed a straight, logical, percentage sequence where higher = later. Not start high at sunrise, & start over again at 0.00 at 12 noon.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yes I noticed that you recently fixed "Azimuth Override" specs (which was throwing off TOD by an additional 0.25 units, as compared to non-AzOver).
0.00 ='ed sunrise
0.25 ='ed noon
0.50 ='ed sunset
0.75 ='ed midnight

It was confusing as heck. I'm honestly not going to miss that.
I wish you could implement accurate sun path by latitude/longitude, date and time-- thereby allowing for seasonal variation, and accurate sunrise and sunset times. But I'm sure that's a whole mess that would take forever and a day to complete. I'm just happy that Azimuth and Non-Azimuth Override are finally on the same page... as to what starts the day.
