psql (9.6.7, server 11.3) on linux

In the copy/paste below, first 2 lines returned by a select on the view,
why didn't it sort on start_datetime correctly ?  I would think that the
one started on 04-08 would come before the one on 04-09 ?

dvdb=> \d sim_phases;
                Table "dvm.sim_phases"
