Took a plea on two delivery charges. Sentenced me to county jail time plus probation on each delivery çharge but the sentences were concurrent. When I violated the probation I was sentenced to consecutive sentences. Is that legal

Yes, it is legal. The probation in your sentence allows you to be resentenced on each matter. In either event you were essentially given two sentences which you violated. The penalties for the violations do not have to be concurrent.
