Sorry I didn't answer that at first.   IIRC it just took schematic yaxis 
value to choose vertical order, and left or right of schematic midlplane 
to determine left or right.  You could then instantiate the symbol just 
generated, then "dive into" edit it to change the order and grouping and 
box size if desired by GUI methods.  For things with short names and few 
enough ports, it was useful.  It's obviously best to specify busses and 
so use bus ports to keep things managably compact.
