I always thought the annotation was in the temporal order in which parts
were placed in a schematic.
The first U? you place will be U1, the next will be U2, etc.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the X,Y coordinates or sheet #.
Of course, that is for Protel SCH 3.X. I haven't made any new schematics
with 99SE yet to see how it works. Probably the same.
