I've taken a look, and I don't see anything that will help you (which
is a surprise to me). The period formatter was intended originally for
output like PT-15H-30M which would be correct.

Best you can do is to change the period (for formatting only) to have
a positive minutes.

period.withMinutes(Math.abs(period.getMinutes()))
