I’ve been thinking about the phrase “few and far between.” I think I understand it. I could say — there are gas stations in the desert, but they are few and far between.

What if I reverse the phrase to “far and few between?”

Could I say — there are gas stations in the desert but they are far and few between?

Does it mean the same as the first phrase or is it nonsense?
