Can pacdiff switch the order of files

I just discovered pacdiff. It puts the pacnew on the left and my version on the right in the diff view. Is there a way to reverse it. I like mine on the left and the new on the right.

Edit the source:
https://git.archlinux.org/pacman-contri … 010fe#n186

#$diffprog "$pacfile" "$file"
$diffprog "$file" "$pacfile"

Or just manually diff them yourself and then you'll always control the order, for example:

$ SUDO_EDITOR=vimdiff sudoedit /etc/makepkg.conf{,.pacnew}
