You can choose your preference to align the wire to right or to the left.

Wire priority

If you connect a wire from a pin to a node, or from a node to a pin, you can choose the priority of alignment.

Bubbles

To better visualize the direction of your wires (if you have some backward wires for loop for examples), you can use bubbles. Note that you can configure the size, the speed, the space and the movement style of your bubbles.

Arrows

You can also add arrows to your wires. This is actually an UE4 built-in feature that can be found under:

Edit / Editor Preferences / Content Editors / Blueprint Editor / Draw midpoint arrows in Blueprints
