That's not possible. There is a lip to the fliter edge so it can only go in one way. Coldshot has kept the dirty side on the outside face, by spinning it around, just like you would if you spun a plate on your table.
If you look at etyu's pics, you'll see the pipe comes up from the bottom on the pic with the pink filter. Coldshot's method assumes that the flliter will clog at the end nearest the pipe. So swapping top to bottom means the dirty air hits a different part of the filter.
