Radiator flow direction or placement doesnt matter. You can place them standing, lying or even standing upside down.

Other components, like pump tops and cpu blocks do however usually have a in and out port, but they are marked, or atleast the manual they come with explain how to connect them.

Edit: One exception, if you have a big radiator with a fill port, like this one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-013-CG&groupid=962&catid=1523
You are not supposed to connect the fill port on the opposite side to your loop, cause that would make the water only flow through half the radiator.
