That's right. The original phrase was reverse of what people say now. And that's why it make no sense.
One of my favorites is "lock and load". The original command was "load and lock" (which makes logical sense, you load the weapon and lock the action), but in "The Sands of Iwo Jima" John Wayne says it in reverse and the rest is history.
