Unfortunately the second answer below is about the Earth's rotation.
The question is about orbits, but should really use the word "revolve".
All the planets revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise (anticlockwise) direction, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Usually we just say "counterclockwise" (the viewpoint is understood to be from above the North Pole.)
So, the answer to the question is: "No, they revolve counterclockwise."
Second Answer:
A point on the Earth's surface always rotates towards the east.
Looked at from a very long distance above the South Pole the planets rotate clockwise.
But looked at from above the North Pole they all rotate anticlockwise.
Take your pick.
Technically there is a convention in mathematical axes that says a right-hand threaded screw lying along an axis moves in the direction of the positive axis when it is rotated anticlockwise. Using that idea, a positive rotation is anticlockwise seen from the far-off positive end of the axis. Using that convention the Earth rotates anticlockwise (a positive rotation) seen from along the northwards axis
