Yeah, typo. I think I wrote "down" because my subconscious bassist brain thinks of E as "below" D, but obviously you're correct.
You don't need to be a musician to know that. Just know the alphabet.

Right. As I mentioned in my original post, I find it more comfortable to play the moveable C-shape up the neck than the moveable A-shape barre chord (at least if I have to hold the chord for a while). You lose the low E string, but that's usually fine. This was one of the possible solutions that I had considered.
Thanks for the links! I'll check those out.
