Why does Lorentz force have that particular direction?

Why does Lorentz force have that particular direction? Why is it perpendicular to the magnetic intesity and the current? Is it cause of some photons' reactions?
Thanks

Because that's the direction things move in nature, so of course we select equations for our theories that reproduce that behavior.
