Sorry for my stupidity the correct column is the P_STYLE, because it has 
nothing to do with the electrical properties of pintype. Please do not 
listen if I write such curious things ;-).

O.K. I was just wondering. I usually write them pin ordered.

There are a few things.
In your test file the nets and the device attributes are written across 
the symbol. They are hard to read.

If you convert the AT90S8535_TQFP.src file, the bottom pins become 
unreachable. You have to translate the symbol away from the origin 
first.

The position of the graphical name and the refdes is just a matter of 
tast. It's ok for me even if I usually put the refdes to the upper 
right and the name to the upper left.

Very funny, "vertikal" is the german translation of vertical.
