The Joule-Thompson coefficent is dT/dp at constant enthalpy. It can be either positive or negative. There is an "inversion temperature" below which the coefficient is positive, so that an expanding gas will cool in an constant-enthapy flow process if it starts out at a temperature below the inversion temperature.
I do not believe you stated the question correctly or clearly.
There is an article explaining this better at

As for why nature is this way, it has to do with molecular attraction forces.
