Brake shoes

I have always been taught that the shorter of a pair of brake shoes is the primary shoe, and it should always go to the front of the vehicle. Reading the manual I received last week, and it was the manual for commercial pickups, half and one ton, it clearly states that the long shoe goes to the front and the short one to the rear. Is that the proper way to install these brake shoes?
