Igor,

I took a look at your pictures. I think that this would be a good idea. 
However, EESchema currently only supports annotation from right to 
left, top to bottom (annotate-right-down.png). Changing the annotated 
dialog box would only be part of the solution. I would have to write 
the code for the other three sort orders and validate it. I think it 
would be better to spend my time clean up the existing code and dialogs 
before added new features. I will add this to my to do list. Thanks 
for the input.
