If the porch light switch is the only outside item controlled y the switch bank inside the house, the porch light switch should be located the furthest from the door frame adjacent to which the switch bank is sited. The switch closest to the door should control the lighting in the room immediately adjacent to the door. In this manner, when entering the room from the outside in the dark, you merely toggle the nearest switch to the door frame to light the room - you don't have to reach around or over other switches. Switches controlling other internal lights should be sited in between. So, for a 2-gang arrangement, the switch located closest to the door frame controls the interior light and the other switch controls the porch light. For a three-gang arrangement, the middle switch would control another interior light.

The only complication is that is if there are switches in the switch bank that control other exterior circuits, the porch light would be inboard of these and would not be the last outboard switch in the array. So, for a three-gang array in which two exterior lights are switched, the porch light switch would be the middle switch and the other exterior lights (sports, floods, landscape lighting, etc.) would be controlled by switches placed further from the door frame.
