I think with this behaviour it is really hard to find bugs and it has a huge
WTF factor when you look into your log files and then you see the exception
messages in a reverse order.
Is it really too hard to fix?

While you are correct that it might be more logical to reverse the order, this
isn't a huge problem.

Description:
------------
The method Exception::__toString() creates the message in the wrong order if a
previous exception exists in the Exception object.
The message contains the message from the previous exception as first and then
marked as next exception the message from the exception object itself. Normally
the message from the current exception should be the first message followed by
the previous message and so one.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
try {
throw new Exception("Previous exception");
} catch (Exception $previous) {
$current = new Exception("Current exception", 0, $previous);
echo 'Previous:' . $current->getPrevious()->getMessage() . '<br />';
echo 'Current:' . $current->getMessage() . '<br />';
echo 'String:' . $current->__toString() . '<br />';
}
Expected result:
----------------
Previous: Previous exception
--------------------------------------------------------------
Current: Current exception
--------------------------------------------------------------
String: exception 'Exception' with message 'Current exception' in
exception.php:4 Stack trace: #0 {main} Next exception 'Exception' with message
'Previous exception' in exception.php:6 Stack trace: #0 {main}
Actual result:
--------------
Previous: Previous exception
--------------------------------------------------------------
Current: Current exception
--------------------------------------------------------------
String: exception 'Exception' with message 'Previous exception' in
exception.php:4 Stack trace: #0 {main} Next exception 'Exception' with message
'Current exception' in exception.php:6 Stack trace: #0 {main}
