In reranker, does the order of query and passage matter?

I'm testing if a video description matches a short topic. Usually the video description(~10 words) is longer than the short topic(3-4 words). Switching the order of them result in totally different score.

For example:
Query: "Space exploration"
Passage: "This video covers the history and future of space exploration, including NASA’s Apollo missions, the Mars Rover, and recent advancements in private spaceflight."

I wonder if there is any guideline on how to set the order?
