complex analysis - Why is $sinx$ the imaginary part of $e^{ix}$?

Most of us who are studying mathematics are familiar with the famous $e^{ix}=cos(x)+isin(x)$. Why is it that we have $e^{ix}=cos(x)+isin(x)$ and not $e^{ix}=sin(x)+icos(x)$? I haven't studied Complex Analysis to know the answer to this question. It pops up in Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Multivariable Equations and many other fields. But I feel like textbooks and teachers just expect us students to take it as given without explaining it to a certain extent. I also couldn't find any good article that explains this.
