I know how to thread, but how do you time a flash suppressor?

On the AR, the bottom of the cage is solid so as to prevent the blast from disturbing the dust. I suppose it helps with recovery for a follow up shot too.

So, how does one ensure that the solid bottom is at 6 o'clock? Just stop rotating it when it's in position? I'm also concerned about threading the barrel excessively.
