Default Rear cylinder is #1. Is it?

OK have the engine bottom put together. All looks good but acordingto alignment on cams and timing It seems like # 1 cylinder is the rear?????????
Cams timing marks are set at 3 and 9 o-clock. The cam and crank timing marks are at 6 and 12. BUT My crank pin is at rear cylinder TDC. Is the #1 cylinder relative to rotation of engine(rear cylinder is #1), or is it relative to the forward cylinder(#1 is front)?
I beleve it should be the rear cylinder is number one. In other words the direction the crank is rotating the rear cylinder fires first.

The cam timing marks are for the rear cylinder at TDCC. Not sure if they call it #1 cylinder or not though.
