Just wondering if it matters if the oil filter is upside down or right side up ?
Just wondering if it would effect cold start up oil pressure?

Makes a huge difference when you go to change it. I will never do that again!
I also believe that it helps to bleed air if the fittings are on top.

Lol ok but oil filter upside Down wouldn't cause delayed oil pressure on cold start up ?

What do you mean "delayed oil pressure"?
All depends on what oil filter and how high the filter is installed in relation to the pan.

I think it's best to hit the starter until oil pressure registers on the gauge and then energize the ignition.
Other than that, I don't worry about it.
Mounting the filter horizontally or fittings down prevents you from filling the new filter with oil during an oil change. I believe that using the pump to fill the filter(s) after an oil change would be more detrimental.
