A shell rolled in the "wrong" direction

Is that acceptable, to ASME code?

The only references to rolling direction I've seen to rolling direction was in some working with stress concentration as it pertains to fatigue.
It was convention to report the lowest values for a metal's physicals based on which direction gave the values, longitudinal or traverse.
