WordPress Custom Menu Sorting Alphabetically

I'm having a problem with my custom menu as it is not displaying as I have set out in the Appearance > Menus. When I get the links how I want them positioned and save the menu. Then when I go to the front-end I notice that they're displaying alphabetically instead of how I positioned them.

Have I missed something in the admin area? The code I have used for the custom menu many times before usually works as expected but not in this instance it is not working as expected.

Thanking you in advance ?

functions.php

add_theme_support( 'menus' );

function register_theme_menus() {
   register_nav_menus(
      array(
         'main-nav' => __( 'Main Nav' )
      )
   );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_theme_menus' );

header.php

// Main Navigation
$defaults = array(
   'container'       => false,
   'theme_location'  => 'primary-menu',
   'menu_class'      => 'main-nav'
);

wp_nav_menu( $defaults );
