But with no logical locations. ;)

I usually drag mine way out into the free space with enough room 
between them to really see all the "crisscrossing" of the wires. Then 
you can start moving them around and rotating to get the least amount 
of crossed wires, then start bringing them back in. -> you can rotate 
during a move by right clicking

It's hard to really see the unrouted wire paths when they're close 
together. I wish they allowed for multiple colors on those.

PS- Another feature I managed to to not find all this time, was that 
while using the actual rotate tool, you can drag away from the 
object's center and "free rotate" to weird angles.
