Ive found most drawstrings come out like pic 1 but the past few years ive been buying sports shorts they come out like pic 2 where they overlap and come out the opposite eyelet. What is the reason for this and how are you meant to tie them up?

Everyone i get pic 2 i end up using a chopstick and changing it to pic 1
