^^^^According to tire rack and many other sources you've got that backwards.
To topic, while I understand the principle of the matter and frustration, I'm doubtful in the end it will make a significant difference in treadwear. Best 'IMO' to chalk it up to experience and stuff happens, this time.
Speaking of chalk, Discount Tire stores in this area chalk the tread of each tire with a number prior to rotating, 1-4 indicating the desired final position of the tire. Each corner having a set number system wide I assume. Not to say that they can't or don't make an error on rotations from time to time, just none that I've had to my knowledge. I always tell them for the service order write up that goes in shop service pouch how I would like them rotated. And DT has no issues with one watching as they rotate and balance. In fact I also check my brake pads during the process.
