A left, Z right? Sure, we all agree in English, whatever.
But, if you were picturing the alphabet VERTICALLY, How would you do it?

Top down, A-Z.
What is the alternative?
edit - Oh, now I see this is a poll, with options. How would Z-A be at all intuitive?

My answer would be "I don't". The question made no sense until I saw the options. And now that I know you want to know Up or Down, it's not natural.

I'm thinking of it 3-dimensionally. Like how would you picture an alphabet tower? I see A as the ground floor, and Z as the top floor.

The vertically part is the twist, and it all depends on how one pictures a tower.
If you start at the top and work your way to the ground, A is on top. Obviously, switch it all if you go from the bottom.
I guess it would make sense to start from the bottom if you were doing numbers because you can add on more floors as they grow, but the alphabet is a set that doesn't change. Thus, it's logical to start either way.
I'm sure Freud would say how you look at it has something to do with your mother.
