Except it doesn’t, the most popular order is nonsensical and Ted was right about it.
If someone asks you what you did yesterday, do you usually list events at random, or do you list them in chronological order? Sentences with multiple clauses are ordered by timeline by default.
So, of course you can have a cake and eat it too, you just won’t have a cake anymore at end of the sentence. What’s impossible is to eat the cake and still have if after that.
Which way did he write it?
In case anyone doesn’t know, “can’t eat your cake and have it too” is the correct order because once you eat it it’s gone and you can’t have it.
It works both ways.

If you’re going to go to that level then I counter with you still have the cake after eating it.
