Headset bearings, which way?

I made a mental note of which way the headset bearings were facing when I took them off to replace my fork, but with the headset seemingly tightened, the fork moves back and fourth slightly if I hold the front brake and rock the bike to and fro. I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow and see if I just undertightened it, but in case that's not it, does anyone know if the balls are suppose to be up or down on each of the parts of the headset. I think I put them both facing up. For reference, it's a 1" threaded Miche headset, stock on my 2001 Bianchi Veloce.
