aria-description read before accessible name in browse mode

[WestonThayer]

Given a web page containing HTML like:

<button aria-description="example description">Submit</button>

NVDA announces the element's description before it's name, but only in browse mode. In focus mode, the name is read before the description.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open https://codepen.io/ckundo-the-styleful/pen/KKBXyGd and navigate the browse mode virtual cursor to the "Save" text below the "Submit" button
2. Press the up arrow

Actual behavior:

up arrow
button    example description  Submit

Expected behavior:

up arrow
button  Submit  example description

Seems similar to #12751.

It seems it works as expected when using quick navigation keys or when using tab in focus or browse mode. I tested in Firefox 109, Chrome and Edge 110.

Is there any reason why navigating with arrow keys does the oposite of quick navigation keys?
