One trick used to be the UBB trident logo (embossed into the cable) always faced upward when plugged into a USB port on a computer.

Sideways ports may be a crap shoot I'm not sure if their orientation is standardized. And I'm not sure about modern USB version if that's still the case of logo faces up.
