why is the order of load, reset being reversed to reset, load?

If we are going to reset, we would want it to be before a load.

Yes, I see that is what you are doing, you are restating what it is that I said that am observing, my question was why. You should explain in the commit message also why you are reversing this order. I don't know why.
