>1. Orient your keys so they all face in the direction of entry

Yes, always

>2. Order your keys clockwise based on the direction of entry.

Eh, I guess. Depends how many you have and what they're like. I have two nearly identical keys, and the rest (car, mail) require no time to find due to their size. In this scenario, I generally find that sorting keys by physical size makes the ring/carabiner feel more comfortable. That being said, I find the related suggestion to "Drill holes in your keys" <https://practicalbetterments.com/drill-holes-in-your-keys/> a more worthwhile solution to item 2.

Mine are ordered by direction of entry secondarily, after order of physical key size. You can't be having a humpy keyring: it must be a smooth curve, if possible.

All facing the same direction is just ... I mean ... if anyone here doesn't do that ... I don't even ... I gotta wash my hands ...
