Now that's drastic. The thickest string the highest and the thinnest the lowest. Looks like some re-learning is in order here as far as tuning goes. Still, I turn the wrong peg on occasion as not all of my 'E' are up high, just most of them. Also, I spent my whole life with the E being the lowest so even if all the Basses are strung the same, in a pinch I grab the wrong tuner.
