Remove event 'parents' out of order

[Fernando]

Hello,

It appears that sometimes with a remove event the order of the parents will be wrong (starting from the current object being removed to the project)
This happens when you remove an entity that contains other entities, for instance a Folder containing a Task and deleting the Folder.
Here you can see the event for the task getting removed and the parents being out of order:

This is problematic for me because I was relying on parents[-1] being the project, while in this case the project is the second element of the list.
Is this a bug, or should I not expect the parents to be in order?
