For the cross piece to adequately bear the load it needs to run from the hinge side on the bottom to the non hinge side on the top.

Yours is correct; that is, stronger than if you put the diagonal the other way.

And you say that is the case because the wood crosspiece is under compression?

I thought the point was put the support on tension rather than compression. Your way seems backwards to me.
Actually it probably doesn't matter.

With it under tension you are relying on the the holding power of the screws yes? That seems more likely to fail to me than compressing a 2x4 lenthwise....

The way to do it is to cross the true supports on the inside vs. outside, so you have one true support going each way.

Yes. If the wood is under compression it is at its strongest. If it goes the other way it is dependent upon the fasteners, which are the weak link in the chain.
Beleive me, I built more gates than I can count working as a foreman for a deck and fence company. i learned the hard way.
