Rotating tires on square setup?

Sorry if this is a naive question but that's how I learn...

I'm thinking of going with a square setup for dedicated track days (Arc-8 x 10" + 275/35/18). I know one advantage is the ability to rotate tires and extend wear. Currently I'm wearing out the front outsides of my PS2s--duh--(I'll be adding GC camber plates also).

So, one just rotates front to back when the wear gets bad? Maybe halfway thru life of tires? Or more frequently? I presume the rears aren't going to suffer as much from the worn outside shoulder? I understand the fronts are more important in turn-in, but just seems like you're robbing Peter to pay Paul...

I'm still considering a staggered setup but have been curious about the practicality of square rotation.

Thanks for your patient responses.
