Why the colour sequence in the secondary rainbow is reverse in order?

In a "primary rainbow", the arc shows red on the outer part, and violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted while entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.
In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, red facing toward the other one, in both rainbows. This second rainbow is caused by light reflecting twice inside water droplets.

Is it possible to see two primary rainbows in the sky at the same time?
Just to expand on this - I don't mean a typical "double rainbow" whereby there's a primary rainbow and then the secondary one which is in reverse colour order. I mean as in two rainbows in normal colour order and of equal brightness, either as two completely separate entities or as an "M" shape. I might have very confused memories from my childhood but I swear I've seen an "M" shaped rainbow before. That said, I have been known to have extremely vivid dreams and as a kid had a very good imagination!
