Keep in mind that the GWX team has had to work within the original game engine's limits & it's possible that the way medals are doled out may be hard coded.
I asked about this issue last year as I had a couple of GWX 2.1 careers where I was awarded medals in a weird order. Aside from getting the Front Clasp first, I was awarded medals in the following order:
1) The Iron Cross 2nd Class
2) The U-boat War Badge
3) The "Fried Egg" - German Cross in Gold
4) The Iron Cross 1st Class
Someone one this forum (I can't remember who now) said that they would be working on a mod that would attempt to fix the way player awards were given so that they would be doled out in a more historically correct manner. Real life commitments may have put that project back on the shelf as I haven't seen anything about it since I originally asked.
