Does your LOCAL electrical code require you to install outlets upside down?

Depends on how you look at it.

The code is actually silent on the issue and I have heard plenty of
compelling arguments of why "ground up" is preferable but people are
used to it looking like a face.
The usual convention is that switched receptacles are the opposite of
the rest but that is not written anywhere.

Call me old fashioned but I like my night lights right side up.
