I had an issue where no matter what I did water came out of the front. I replaced the washer pump and that fixed it. When doing this I found it helpful to have a mug of hit water when refitting the screenwash hoses. Dip the end of the hose in the hot water for 10 to 15 seconds and that should make the end of the hose soft and pliable and make refitting an ease.

Is the water coming out of the wrong end of the car or are the front wipers wiping even if you're trying to wash the rear? I've been up since 0330 after a few hours sleep for work so I'm a bit mentally slow this morning. If when you wash the front it sprays rear and wash rear it sprays front then I would just swap the two hoses to the opposite outlet on the screen wash pump but if the wiper arms are going when you wash the rear I'm not too sure, maybe a new stalk would sort that out.
