Pickup alignment question

[SRD86]

Normally, when you replace a humbucker (Dimarzio Tone Zone in this case), the coil with the screws are closer to the bridge than the coil with the poles, correct?

Would it matter if it is flipped the other way?

I'm wondering because I'm using a push/pull to split the coils and the pole piece coils stays on and the screw coil shuts off, I'd rather have the coil closer to the bridge stay on so I can get a twangy-er/thinner sound when I split.

any opinions would be appreciated, thanks.

I believe you can switch the wiring to shut off the coil you want. No?

Yes, Correct.

I just called Dimarzio and I was told the you can switch the wiring and if you switch on and not the other, when you cut both coils it will be hum canceling.

FYI:
Normal wiring
Red - Hot
Black/White - Single
Green/Bare - Ground

Reverse coil wiring
White - Hot
Red/Green - Single
Black/Bare - Ground
