In our discussion of the direction to daven, many perform shaking of
the lulav (must be better term)
in the directions
east, south, west, north, up and down
or
south, north, east, up, down, west

according to this whether it is right or left or front or back first
depends on where one is.
i.e. the directions are in terms of geography and not right, left etc.

Note according to the mechaber one turns the entire body while
according to the Ramah
once always faces east and moves ones head
