Notes created by extending chord over barline are not tied to the correct notes

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a whole note chord (at least two notes) in any measure.
2. Select one of the notes and press 8. The chord is conveniently extended into the next measure.
3. Attempt to change the pitch of any one of the notes.

Expected: The corresponding note at the end of the tie is also adjusted.
Actual: The vertically opposite note is adjusted. (Moving top note will move bottom note of other end of tie, 2nd from top will move 2nd from bottom, etc.)

This is the easiest way to enter chords that cross barlines (fill to the end of the measure, then extend the note length past it). I would like this functionality to remain supported, or at least have an alternative that allows for easier tied chord entry.

Problem is that the new chord is built in the wrong order: the notes are not sorted correctly. The code to attach the ties just connect note 0 to note 0, note 1 to note 1, etc. The fix will be to make sure the new chord is sorted correctly.
