The guidance notes that the flag's blue field of honor should be up and left when displayed vertically or horizontally. If a large flag is carried by many people horizontally, the blue field should be forward and to the right.
Flag display guidelines for elevations and hours
The flag should hang vertically with the field to the north in east west streets and to the east in north south streets. When hung from a window or pole the field faces forward toward the peak of the staff unless shown at half mast. Fly from sunrise to sunset unless hours are set by authority. Raise briskly, lower slowly and ceremoniously, and never let a fold touch the ground.
