Hello,

I don't think there is established convention. In my case, I put them from =
left
 to right in descending order of piece value(R>B>G>S>N>L>P). If I get lots =
of
pieces and cannot put them in one line, then I put them in two lines on the=
=20
Komadai without reversing. Unless two lines are enough, then put them in th=
ree
lines. I believe it's more or less common to pro players as well.

Typical examples can be found in 19th Ryuo-sen broadcasting blog at
