Munchkin - can you put cards which you cannot use sideways

Question

In the card game of Munchkin (or Munchkin Zombie) I've seen people put some cards on the table sideways. Usually, they can't use those cards for some reason like it's not for their class or they exhausted body parts limit.
They do that, so they could trade cards, that they cannot use.
Is it used to distinguish equipped and carried items?
The rulebook that came with the game (in the Polish language) does not cover this kind of behaviour.
Edit: For the base version of the game, there is a new one available online which has this covered. Also, all rulebooks in English include this rule.

This appears to be a standard part of the rules for Munchkin for Item type cards.;

All Items you have in play are considered “carried.” Items that are actually
giving you a bonus are “equipped.” You should indicate Items that are not
equipped by turning the cards sideways. You may not alter the status of your
Items during a combat or while running away
