As in "top-left" here, is it always that "top" or "bottom" comes first followed by "right" or "left"?

Yes! That's right! There could be some confusion if it were the other way around since "top" and "bottom" have different meanings. For instance, "top" is another word for "shirt," and "right" can mean "correct," so one may think you're saying the "correct top" instead of the direction "top-right". Ex: If you look on the bottom-left, you'll see the cell with the word "grape" in it. Ex: You'll see the book in the top-right corner = You'll see the book in the right-top corner. => correct corner with a top
