Question Urgent Brake Question answer now!!!

Hey guys, ive got a quick question that I need answer quickly. I recently put new drums and shoes all the way around on my 69 Cutass. I think I may have swapped around the primary and secondary shoes. Does the Longer(primary shoe) go towards the front of the car when looking at the assembly or does the Shorter(secondary shoe) go towards the front, please answer as if you were looking at the front drivers side drum. Thanks guys!!!!

The primary shoe (shorter) goes toward the front of the vehicle. The lining on the secondary shoe is the long one.
