I bought a set of six 10-foot braided cords for both the iPhone and for the
Android phone (lightning & usb-c) and they work great except when they're
coiled up among stuff.

USB-A and which is the lightning or USB-C end.
 Do they make 10-foot cords with little arrows braided into the jacket?

It would require brains and forethought for a shithole industry to provide symbolic jacketing and even if such jacketing or standards did exist most of the stuff is made in China, 'nuff said.
Something like these markers might pull over the small usb-c ends

failing that look for heat-shrink markers of similar vocation.
