IFC exported from TEKLA displays the Profile Height and Width reversed.

When exporting beams from TEKLA, the Profile Height and Profile Width are reversed in the quantity tab. ARCHICAD and REVIT do not have this problem.
Is this a bug or is it an original specification?

When I use our custom rules to check if the sectional shape are consistent, I am having trouble checking only the IFC exported from TEKLA.

IFC file is also attached for confirmation.

Hi. Based on the IFC contents it seems that the data is swapped there already?

Tekla:
#42= IFCRECTANGLEPROFILEDEF(.AREA.,‘\X2\0043004F004E25A1003600350030002A003300350030\X0’,#41,350.,650.);

Revit:
#138= IFCRECTANGLEPROFILEDEF(.AREA.,‘1GA1’,#137,650.,350.000000000005);

Thank you for your reply.
I also noticed the data being swapped.
However, if I just replace the relevant part of the tekla IFC, it rotates 90 degrees. So I am wondering if something else is affecting it. I have also attached the IFC that I rewrote below.
