Now that I think about, it might not really matter which way that part is placed provided pin 2 is always in the middle. (That's meant as humor in case someone miss interprets.) Perhaps that's why there is no square pad for pin 1 on the footprint since it really doesn't matter.
Hmm. I wonder if this explains why on the 99 cent voltage regulator modules on eBay that use similar looking blue multi-turn trimpots, some versions have CW increasing voltage while others have CCW increasing voltage.
