House orientation inside and outside

Not exactly a bug so I'd rather put it here.
When you are entering a house, you look like this probably.

Logically, your camera shouldn't have to be moved at all, and you should be able to continue walking down the house looking the same way.
But no, the house is swapped inside and out, so when you enter, it looks like this now:

If the entrance to a house is west, shouldn't the exit from the house also be on the west inside? Not on the east?
It seems as if no matter how you put your house, inside the exit will always be on the east. Pls make it depend on how you build it. Just a little quality of life feature, the way houses work is so confusing.
If you're going 3D, do it right.

Actually you're right. But maybe it should automatically turn your camera the way so you look at your character from the same angle. Fixes the issue I'm having, and in your house it really doesn't matter what's north/west/south/east.

Hard for houses rotated in non-cardinal ways.
