Have you actually set the cards up so that the live and scheduled orders are different?   As a quick check, and if you feel confident in doing so, try running the following bit of sql on your backend…

select x.hostname, x.videodevice, c.displayname as name,v.name as source, c.schedorder as sched,c.livetvorder as live, c.recpriority as pri, c.startchan as start, c.quicktune as quick from cardinput c, capturecard x, videosource v where c.cardid=x.cardid and c.sourceid=v.sourceid order by x.videodevice;

The output from my system looks like this (engaged fixed font for best view) ...

+----------+-----------------------------+------+-------------+-------+------+-----+-------+-------+
| hostname | videodevice                 | name | source      | sched | live | pri | start | quick |

14 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I use the sql as a quick check if I ever reconfigure my system  The 2 important columns are sched (scheduled order) and live (live order).   One is the reverse of the other, and if I've done it right for my system sched+live always == 14.   I suspect that probably have sched==live on yours, so a visit to mythtv-setup to tweak the values would be required.
