Installing a cog on hub

I've just ordered a new sprocket and chain whip / lockring tool.

Having never swapped one of these I've a numptie question.

I assume the lockring is threaded the opposite way to the sprocket. Which one is threaded 'back to front' ie turn anti clockwise to do up?

I'd hate to beat the granny out of the lockring trying to undo it when I'm infact tightening it further.

having lurked on here for a while before joining, i assumed you were quite the fixed gear afficianado.
