Nevermind, figured it out. For those who have the same issue, do the following (after backing up your original files!):
1) Open your nav-menu.php file (located in wp_includes)
2) at the top, put in the following code:
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_objects', create_function( '$menu', 'return array_reverse( $menu );' ) );
3) replace your file in the directory
This will make the menu nav appear in reverse (which is technically the correct order as told from the wp editor. Hope this helps!
