Side shifters have 3 positions on each shifting arm. 1st neutral reverse on one arm. 2nd neutral 3rd on the other.

When you shift from 1st to 2nd, 1st goes to neutral, 2nd then can move to engage the gear. Column shifters have 2 arms from the column linkage, they have to move the in proper sequence to engage the gears.
