The bleeder is of course on top position on the wheel cylinder and is at the highest point of it. So it is theoretically even easier to bleed than a flat mounted wheel cylinder.

Oscar, Phil (Talon) told in the first place to put them the other way around for drum brake, but if I do so, the handbrake cable sleeve is too short to go to the back of the drum flange. So I had to put them this way which I thought was the normal way for drums. But perhaps it isn't, and the disc set-up is "top holes towards the front" as well. Sorry to get you even more confused
