When connecting the three wires from the motor to the three wires from the esc, is there a way to know how to connect them to get the rotation direction that you want? Or is it just trial and error?

Trial and error, for me. Hook it up, turn it on. Correct direction, good to go; wrong direction, switch any 2 wires.

Some ESC and timers have black/white-yellow/red on both. I normally color match them up that way with the ESC set to Nornal
you ger right hand Rotation. Some come with all black wires. I think Steve has it right, it doesn't matter but I have, always swapped the red and black. It always seems easier to swap wires than it does to program the ESC.

If you plug them in then test the motor (no prop) to check the rotation, if wrong switch any two wires and it will reverse direction.

I worked on model changes, modernizations, and new factories in the auto industry.
With 3-phase motors the trained, professional, educated, union electricians just hooked the BIG motors up at random and "bumped" to check rotation. I guess they could have hit it lucky half the time.
If it was possible to do damage by reversal, they disconnected the mechanical coupling first.
