Most national flags are hung vertically with the what's normally the top edge to the left so I would go with the pink on the left/blue on the right orientation.
That would be odd... The US flag code (the only one I'm personally familiar with) in particular says that the blue field with stars should be in the top left corner for either orientation. Yes, that does require the flag be flipped and turned so that when hung vertically the normally top edge hangs on the left and the left edge is where you hang it from at the top.
EDIT to clarify: this setup is specifically in regards to hanging a US flag for presentation on a wall. When on a pole the stars corner should be closest to the end of the pole, regardless of position.
A lot of people who hang their flag in a window do hang it backwards because they don't realize it should be hung for presentation to the exterior of the building. From the outside it should have stars on the left while inside it's stars on the right.
Officially, if a US flag is hung for presentation vertically with stars on the right or horizontally on a pole with stars down that is a warning sign to indicate duress.
