Comment:

 The current functionality of {{{ get_posts_navigation}}} is correct. I
 think the main confusion comes from effect the default descending order
 has when querying posts.

 As mentioned in the documentation:
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_next_posts_link/]

 Because post queries are usually sorted in reverse chronological order,
 {{{get_next_posts_link()}}} usually points to older entries (toward the
 end of the set) and
 {{{get_previous_posts_link()}}} usually points to newer entries (toward
 the beginning of the set).

 I've created a collection of tests that proves that the current
 functionality is correct and can be seen here:
