When I have top view, the cube is upside down. How can I fix?

Top is OK for me but Left is Right and vice-versa. I guess it is all a matter of point of view and that’s why the names should be user configurable, e.g. Fore, aft, port and starboard if one were nautically oriented…

Best,

Well I worked years with x axis horizontally to the right and y axis vertically up in 2D and you have it vice versa which is a bit confusing but I think I will get used to that - just asking if possible to change it or not.
