Default Drilling outside wall for electric cable

I need to run a cable from an inside socket to an outside weatherproof box,
what's the recommended way to drill the hole? Drill from outside (brick) to
inside (plaster) or the other way? (I'm assuming outside to in, so I can hit
the middle of the brick) And are there any other considerations like whether
the outside bit of cable should be run upwards or downwards? It's a standard
wall, no pipes or existing cables in the way.
