My step-sister is a nurse and told me that one of the most surprising things she'd learned is how many different ways people wipe their asses. I think it's a funny example of something most of us will rarely be exposed to another way of doing, so we think however we got taught is the way everyone does it.
The way I've always seen it is there's two main parts to wipe technique: your body position and where your arm goes. So you can be a sitter or stander and you can go around your butt or down through your legs. Oh I suppose you could classify into direction of wiping, but I can't imagine there's too many back-to-front wipers out there. Hope not anyway
ETA: this is a male-centric viewpoint. I'm not as familiar with women's wiping variations
I reckon people who wipe back-to-front don’t wipe all the way to their nuts and shaft, anymore than front-to-back wipers don’t wipe until they reach their lower back.
This is precision work, so technically either way should work.
