As a user, I would expect the whole paragraph to be rotated as a whole, so that if the page is printed out, the paragraph could be read the way it would naturally be written. See the attached screenshot, where the English text rotated 90° reads correctly, whereas the 270° rotation produces the wrong line ordering. In Arabic, the opposite is true: 270° rotation presents the text as expected whereas 90° has the lines reversed.
