Looking down on it it.
Top behind the bottom.

castor is the angle of a line drawn from upper to lower balljoint, from vertical when viewed from the side. Upper to the rear is the norm.

Yep as above - if you aim for the top balljoint to be about 20mm behind the bottom one (with a bit of adjustment either way if poss) you'll not be far off.
