appendix formatting: section number before \appendixname

Question

Here is my situation:

Source code

in preamble:

\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}
\renewcommand{\appendixname}{priedas}

in document:

\begin{appendices}

  \section{Tekstai}
  Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt, neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

\end{appendices}

Output document

in toc:

priedas A  Tekstai ......................... 20

in document:

priedas A  Tekstai

Wanted output document

in toc:

A priedas  Tekstai ......................... 20

in document:

A priedas  Tekstai

If you are using the article document class, then you can achieve the desired result with the help of the titlesec and titletoc packages; a little example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}
\renewcommand{\appendixname}{priedas}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\section{Test regular section}

\begin{appendices}
\titlecontents{section}
  [1.7em]{}{\contentslabel{1.7em}\appendixname\ }{\hspace*{-1.7em}}
  {\titlerule*[1pc]{}\contentspage}
\titleformat{\section}
  {\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\thesection\ \appendixname}{1em}{}

  \section{Tekstai}
  Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt, neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

\end{appendices}

\end{document}

With minor modifications, this will also work with the scrartcl document class. However, this approach will fail with amsart.
