Do aloe vera leaves form a rosette when older?

My aloe vera has been trying to do this, but I have been moving its pot in different directions. Also, would moving its pot around make it do that?

Sorry, I'm leaving to go over the road for 3 months, and may not have internet a lot of times. Some Aloe Vera form a rosette pattern, and some form a "fan" pattern, in which each leave is directly opposite to the last one. If it is a rosette pattern Aloe Vera, it may not show the true pattern until a bit older (couple years or so). Hope that helps you.

Well, at fist it grew in a fan pattern, but just lately has been growing in a rosette pattern.

It's a rosette Aloe Vera then, and will not revert back to "fan".

. I'm kinda worried because the mother plant it came from is still growing in a fan pattern, and it's much bigger than mine. Mine is the one in the middle.
