Coordinated organization of groups of cells in the plane of an epithelium, such that they all orient to similar coordinates. The specification and formation of the polarity of a cell along its proximal/distal axis. A process that is carried out at the cellular level that results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an imaginal disc-derived wing hair. A wing hair is an actin-rich, polarized, non-sensory apical projection that protrudes from each of the approximately 30,000 wing epithelial cells. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. The process, occurring after embryonic development, by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Determination of the site in the cell of an imaginal disc-derived wing at which a prehair initiates outgrowth. Restriction of prehair initiation to the distalmost part of a cell is essential to ensure that each wing epithelial cell produces one adult hair that points distally. Orientation of hairs in the imaginal disc-derived wing along a proximal-distal axis, such that each cell of the wing produces one wing hair which points in a distal direction.
