I’m Finnish and we have much the same alphabet, and our cursive is derived from the same as the Swedish one, which is Neo-Gothic cursive, which does do the X from top down, as do we Finns.
But how do you you even write it when starting top left? Do you just write it as a backslash and then go back and add the second stroke once the word is finished? Or do you do some convoluted thing where you go in every direction while perfectly retracing your old strokes, to draw the whole thing in one go?
Idk about “very” apparent, though.

I did check the Swedish one and it is weird you do it differently.

Same as with dotting i’s or crossing t’s, really.
I often found that pictures speak louder than words, and it’s pictured in my earlier link.
