How to make both ends of stroke fold in.

[Lobsang Karma]

I am using a custom vector brush. How can I make B look like A, on the same stroke?

If I break the stroke into 2 then reverse B, it has the desired effect of tuck in in the end point, but reverses the colors, and I need the colors to stay in the same order. Same problem when I simply copy A then make a mirror of it. 

Thanks!

In other words, is there a way in AD to order nodes, to send the nodes that are in front on B to the back?

You can't do it in a single stroke with physical coloured pens taped together, and the same applies here. You need to make one stroke starting at A and going from right to left, and then a second stroke starting at B but going from left to right, with the two strokes crossing and meeting at the top.

As you've observed, if you reverse the direction you also reverse the colours, so you'll need to create a reversed version of the brush for the B side.

To avoid a need to mask the lines top endings to fit vertically:  /|\
you could make meet both lines at a point where they have rectangular stroke ends, for instance  – – – :
