How to perform this kind of equivalent transformation for trigonometric functions?

Posted 5 days ago
-Sin[\[Pi]/4 - 2 x]

How can I convert the trig function above into the equivalent form below?

Sin[-(\[Pi]/4) + 2 x]

The simplification approach below doesn't yield the desired result.

-Sin[\[Pi]/4 - 2 x] // FullSimplify

Interesting, the behaviour of Sin depends on the alphabetical order of the variables:

Sin[-a + b]
Sin[-b + a]
Sin[-(\[Pi]/4) + 2 a]
