MOTM

synthesizers.com has a page for designing your own custom modular, that 
includes ideas regarding module placement.

The left-to-right, bottom-to-up signal flow works for me, although; 
there will always be a spiders web of patchcables as soon as you do 
something out of the ordinary (which I tend to do all the time).

Other things that works for me:
VCOs to the left, VCFs to the right
EG and LFOs on top of that
Rare modules in the corners (of my cabinet)
Utilities modules (multiples, mixers etc.) in between all over the place
Analog sequecers on top of it all

>  why? Do you put your Oscillators at the top, filters below? Why?
>  What have you found to be most intuitive / ergonomic? Can you point
>  us to publications on the subject that have influenced you? Thank you
