Personally, I would work from the "off" position. If that is before the 1,
then 6 is colder. Or vice versa. Sorry if that's too simplistic, but in
every fridge I've owned, that's the way it
works........................Faith.

A gas cooker I was using earlier this year worked exactly the
opposite as moving from the 'off' position went directly to the
highest setting and then to decreasing strengths.

That's usual, the reason being that you don't want half-cock attempts to
light the flame when the gas is too low. Also, a positive stop at the
low end inhibits people from running with a very small flame, that then
might blow out, filling the kitchen with gas. Which all means that I
have to balance the setting between 'off' and 'full' when cooking basmatti.

Cookers that work off bottled gas (e.g. CalorGas) usually operate in this
fashion: those that run off "mains" gas (natural and before that town)
operate in reverse fashion.
