Summary0002608: Designate cut trees/plants/etc,, always starting from northwest corner
DescriptionDwarfs will always go to the northwestern most corner of the designated area to perform these actions. Would make more sense for them to start closest to the fortress or nearest applicable stockpile and work away.

Or do they start from the last corner to be designated in the rectangle?

Not a bug. Certainly not a "normal" priority issue.

We've known about this for a long time. I'd encourage everyone who's commented here to move over to 0001463 for the time being.
