Why is the label written upside down?

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

It is? I always wrote labels that way, so that the sensitive part could face down in the storage box.

Same, and made it easier to read when flipping through them.

It's not, labels were always written that way. They went into a box where the slide was facing down so the label was always visible at the top.
