I had a player of mine make a lvl 1 Sorc. and lvl 4 druid. I noticed on the character sheet that level 3 spells were available. Correct me if I am wrong but this is only available to level 5 druids. This is what I see in the "spells" section of the character in dndbeyond:
1st lvl spell slots - 4 available
2nd lvl spell slots - 3 available
3rd lvl spell slots - 2 available
In the 3rd slot, I do see spells have the "level 1" casting to them so I am assuming these are 2 spell slots given by the Sorcerer class but only labeled at level 3. I recreated the problem twice and confirmed it is a bug. I believe my player had at least 1 level 3 spell selected but now I cannot confirm that and it will not allow level 3 spells to be chosen. Is this a bug or is this desired to separate the spell slots of the druid from that of the sorcerer?
I get it. So this is as intended. I thank you for your information and just question the reality the programmers of the system live in. :)
Personally, I think it is slightly misleading and I would wonder why they would not label it as Druid 1st level spell slots or Wizard 3rd level spell slots instead of arbitrarily counting upward. As a DM, I try to talk my players out of multiclassing to avoid some of these confusions but I will never take away their ability to choose.
For the record, sorcerers don't normally get 3rd-level slots either until level five. You have them purely as a result of multiclassing. You can also use any slots you have to cast spells from any of your classes, so labelling them wouldn't really have much meaning IMO.

I'd encourage giving the rules here a read:
