识途老马 or 老马识途

i was watching 成语小天才 when they had tis question.

the contestant gave the answer as 老马识途 and tat was the standard answer.

though both 识途老马 and 老马识途 means the same thing, i m beli curious as to whether they teach it as 老马识途 in skools now coz as far as i can rem, i learnt it as 识途老马.

the great mystery of the old horse tat knows the way...haha
