How to swirl the intended element?

Imagine you're fighting the pyro regisvine, it's sheild is down and it is effected with cryo while you're also effected by pyro from it's attacks, if I were to use Kazuha's ult from past experiences, it would normally swirl pyro so this has me assuming that it prioritizes what your active character is effected by? If so, how would I counter this and get it to swirl cryo in this situation and in general?
