I was thinking the "left-to-right" would feel more natural, specially if there is any scroll involved (it would be quite uncomfortable having to scroll visually from top to bottom and then again if you did not found what you looked for)... but I was thinking about looking for "visual labels".
But then, if you are going to use just text it is much more simple to scan directly downwards looking for the 1st different letters of the label. Another point would be that you should clearly mark the boundaries between letters, both in the tabs and in the proper context. Hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
