It bothers me that FAR is near what’s usually the zero and NEAR is, well, far.

We can have a little suspension of disbelief to ensure the joke lands

Warning for everyone: that's a tvtropes link, don't get too sucked in. It's like a black hole.

So you feel like a 0? But seriously, there is no correct way for it. But in this case far on the left makes sense, as that is the reading direction of most, so the joke "lands better".
