  I've had them rotate before.  I ALWAYS stagger the rings in a set location. 
 
Don't think I've ever had many of them come out as installed.  In fact on 
the Jetta's first re-ring, I had a friend do it and he was quite surprised to 

find the rings, at least in one cylinder, all lined up straight. He knew I 
wouldn't have assembled it that way!
