Drift aligning using the sun

I just thought about using the PST to get a rough drift alignment happening during the day, but I always forget directions.

When I view through the PST with a reticule, and wait 10 minutes and the sun has drifted off in a particular direction.

Now when I make my adjustment, am I adjusting to pull the sun back towards the centre of the reticule?
i.e. if I look into the eyepiece whilst doing my adjustment, would I be moving the object back towards the centre?
