Radar altimeter dangerous RALT set left is CW and right is CCW?

I was confused by my bindings for L-39 radar altimeter RALT knob setting (bug for r-alt warning sound) until I double-checked that LEFT means CW and RIGHT means CCW. This is totally counterintuitive - why the left-right is the direction of the bottom of the knob? I'd expect it to be the TOP of the knob.

Red arrows show the current action that corresponds to the direction of the RALT bug, CCW (currently labelled - misleadingly - right) lowering the dangerous altitude indication:

As it is a rotary, it would be better to use classic CW and CCW names - so I'd suggest that the current "left" is relabeled as "CW" and the current "right" as "CCW".

Applies to both C and ZA variants.
