To help make body work as efficient as possible, it matters how you spread the body filler on. The best way is to spread it is in the direction perpendicular to to low area you are filling. This helps the body filler be spread with the shape of the panel, rather than following the low areas. You will then be block sanding it against the direction it was filled. Usually, the filler is spread vertically on the car.
The point: To get a head start on straightening your panel out, rather than following the low areas with the filler.
