Was it a requirement in the 80's? Every home in my sub-development
has them upside down, and most of us hate it. We assume the developer
hired the electrician who bid the least, and got what he paid for.

Before here, I had a farm in the neighboring county. House constructed
in 1999. All outlets installed the right way. Identical transformers
on the power poles there and here.

In the US there is no code as to which way outlets should be installed.

That got me to thinking about the water at sinks. As far as I know
unless the plumbers made a mistake all the hot water is on the left and
cold is on the right. Is there a code for this, or has it just become
a standard by everyone wanting or expecing it to be done this way ?

It may be buried in the ASTM standard for faucets but I don't see it
in the plumbing code.
Found another one:

2006 IRC
P2722.2 Hot water. Fixture fittings and faucets that are supplied
with both hot and cold water shall be installed and
adjusted so that the left-hand side of thewater temperature control
represents the flow of hot water when facing the outlet.
Exception: Shower and tub/shower mixing valves conforming
to ASSE 1016 or CSA B125, where the water temperature
control corresponds to the markings on the device.

I bow to your cites. I am electrical but what I know about plumbing is
confirmed. "Cold water goes on the right and **** don't flow uphill"

If it is green it may not be a pickle.
