Comment (by keesiemeijer):

 I agree, flipping the value in `get_category_parents()` feels off and
 doesn't give it any meaning of what the value actually does . With a
 format value we can give the meaning back and make it much more readable
 in both functions.

 >>Why `array_reverse()` before generating the markup? Does
 `get_ancestors()` return values in a reverse order from the way that
 `get_category_parents()` currently does it?

 Yes, `get_ancestors()` returns the terms from the child up, while
 `get_category_parents()` displays it from the last parent down.

 A new patch is on its way :)
