When placing down a lever on the top or bottom of a block it seems the position you place it from does not affect the orientation of the lever and there is currently no way to specifically choose the orientation.

Confirmed. Lever on ground only wanted to point either South or East, with no real preference for the two. Where I stood had no influence on it.
