because thats one of the vertical wall mount patch panels, usually you route the wires out the bottom, so you start with #12 and layer all the wires ontop until you reach #1
you want to keep the pairs twisted as much as you can get away with to prevent cross talk from all those wires terminating together.. ethernet depends on the twists to get that many signals in the same jacket.
if you were leading in from the top like pictured below you would start @ #1

smaller patch panels like that it wont matter a whole lot.. but when you have 48/96 cables coming out of the back of one it gets really tight and you gotta layer things very cleanly 
Disagree with the comments saying use type B.
IMO, you should see what is already installed in your house and stick with that standard, wether A or B. The last thing you want is a mix of wiring standards in your house

I read the OP that pre existing wiring was in place.
It maybe that the wire was pre existing but not terminated in which case I agree with B. But again as long as one standard is used throughout the house it doesn't matter
