is manual valve before or after the control valve

Downstream means after.
The words upstream (before) and downstream (after) are based on the flow direction.
For example: if a fluid flows from a distillation column to a tank, we can say "the tank is downstream the column" or "the column is upstream the tank".

It would mean that the manual valve is later on DOWN the line than the Control Valve. It is referred to as Downstream because the liquid flows 1 way down the pipe, and the further it gets from the source, the futher downstream it gets.

Downstream means that manual valve is AFTER control valve.. in the same way that the fluid flow; Upstream is the other way.
I.E = All the instruments can be UPSTREAM or DOWNSTREAM, it depends of your reference, in your example, your reference is the Control valve and it means that all the instrument before it, is ubicated UPSTREAM and all the instrument located DOWNSTREAM is after the reference.

Just as a nonengineer I would say that the upstream is traveling up the current, and down stream is traveling with the current.
I.E. on a current going from left to right then upstream would be left and downstream is right. I hope that is as clear as mud lol.

Flow of fluid before valve is Upstream and after valve is downstream.

Upstream is the source,downstream is the (fall)

downstream is always in the direction of normal flow of the material in the pipeline.
Upstream is where the material is coming from.
