The first atom in a water molecule for most explicit water models
(TIPXP, SPC, etc) is the oxygen. You can verify this yourself via
something like:

cpptraj -p <topology> --mask ':WAT' | head

So I think things are OK. Is your output trajectory not what you
expected? Maybe I'm just not understanding your question. Let me know
if this doesn't clear things up.
