Posi-Temp Shower faucet control directions changed after cartridge replacement

[Shobuddy]

I just replaced the cartridge on my Moen single handle shower. The controls used to be as follows:

South - Off
East - Cold
North - Warm
West - Hot

After putting it back together, everything shifted 180 degrees so now it is:

South - Warm
East - Hot
North - Off
West - Cold

Not sure what I did wrong putting it back together. Any input would be great.

The cartridge can be reversed in case the hot and the cold were not plumbed correctly.
Remove the clip, pull it out slightly and rotate the cartridge 180 degrees.

Normally at the top of the cartridge, there will be on H on the left side, assuming there was hot plumbed to the left of the valve.

To make things easier leave the cartridge in place and rotate the stem only 180*
As per Moen

The temperature on my Moentrol shower seems to be reversed ? cold water is where hot should be and the hot water is where the cold should be. Is there an easy way to change this?

This can be corrected by removing the handle and turning the stem of the cartridge 180 degrees (either clockwise or counter-clockwise) and reinstalling the handle.

Whether they rotate the cartridge or rotate the stem depends on WHICH Moen stem it is.

Thanks for the responses! Using the Moen 1222 cartridge and rotating the stem worked.
