Baltic birch plywood yield

I'm making a bunch (24) of drawers out of Baltic birch ply. The sheets are 60" by 60". Drawers are about 21" deep and most of the drawers are wide so not much chance to use up the left over from cutting two 21" lengths from each strip. If I run the direction of the grain like normal I'm going to have a 18" by 60" leftover that is mostly unusable. Any reason why I shouldn't run the grain vertically for either the front or back of the drawers just to use up some of the leftover?

I'm thinking this is just an aesthetics issue and I doubt anyone but me will ever notice. But, maybe it is a terrible idea.
