With the valve at the bottom of the wheel. Then the spoke behind the valve should go to the back (rear) side of the hub. The spoke in front of the valve should go to the front side of the hub.
For low flange hubs, this leaves the spokes around the valve going more or less parallel.
For yours, the spokes around the valve should actually separate just a little.
In theory, this gives maximum access to the valve stem. Still, it doesn't make a big difference, but it is conventional.
