I haven't done it in a while but my recollection is that if you press a "wrong-direction" floor it will just go there after having completed all the previously-selected stops.

not just previously selected but it will wait until there are no stops in the current direction, then switch directions and go in the reverse order

Yeah I wasn't sure what will happen if more people add in stops in the "right" direction afterwards, I don't think I've ever been in that situation, but that makes sense.
