Errors in Align to principal axis
A processing system for 3D triangular meshes

Major axis alignment unexpected results
Take a elongated object (say, stand-up human-like sculpture) , randomly oriented on space (less than 45º in vertical, in this sample).
Use filter Normals, curvatures, orientation -> Transform: Align to principal axis
The mesh is moved to close vertical, as expected, but
a) normals are inverted
b) Second-long axis is .. inverted too (left-to-right, in this sample).
¿Any idea?
