The sort modifier when targeting entities is reversed

When using the command
/execute as @e[type=armor_stand] at @s facing entity @e[sort=furthest,type=pig] eyes run tp ^ ^ ^1

it teleports the armor stand towards the nearest pig. But when you switch it to

/execute as @e[type=armor_stand] at @s facing entity @e[sort=nearest,type=pig] eyes run tp ^ ^ ^1

it teleports to the furthest pig.
