Laito is the Youngest but he was born first of his brother so he is the third son. Ayato mght be the eldest of the triplets but it doesn't make him the third son. The order of the sons is based on the birthdate not by whether they are the oldest or youngest by their birth order by mother. Shū and Reiji were born from the same mother but at different times completely.

Ayato was chosen to be the heir from Cordelia but also due to an old Japanese Tradition for both twins and triplets that are born on separate days. This tradition states that the child that was first conceived is the furthest from the womb (Ayato in this case) the one that is born last is the eldest and the one closest to the womb (Laito in this case) was the last one to be conceived thus they are the youngest in a set of a triplets or twins.
