Default Tying fly to leader

Hi All
Can anyone tell me which way a dry fly should be tied on? I always tie with the point of hook facing right and (on an up eye hook) pass tippet up through, but have just looked at knots book and it's showing the hook horizontal(ie with point at bottom) and tippet passed through from under the eye. Have i been doing it all wrong?
Hope this makes sense

Doesn't make a blind bit of difference which way you pass the leader through the eye.
