except mv(1) and cp(1) are both "FROM" and then "TO", but ln is backwards from thi, it is "TO" then "FROM"
No, ln is exactly like mv and cp here: the source is the first argument, and the destination is the second.
If this isn't clear, perhaps we should make the documentation clearer; but we shouldn't change ln's behavior, as many people and programs rely on the current behavior, and the current behavior is more logical once you understand how file systems work.
