Change cabin air filter question?

I recently changed the cabin air filter with FRAM CF10134. But now that I think back on it, I don't know if I dropped in the filter correctly. I think I might have incorrectly oriented the filter. Does anyone remember/know if there were any letterings indication which way to drop in the filter? Thanks!

Btw I'm not near my car (on vacation) right now, which is why I'm asking.

well i dont care much if its top or bottom but i make sure no air will escape the sides of the filter....if you just drop it in, there might be an exposed wall where the unfiltered air would leak in !!!

The filter will have an arrow to help you with the orientation.

The filter and the holder it goes in has arrows for air flow direction. I think they go up?

I also think there are tabs in the filter holder in which you should tuck parts of the filter into. This way, air cannot slip past and hold the filter secure.
