If we have a pizza nailed on a wall, when we cut it vertically we get
columns, and when we cut it horizontally we get rows.
A matter of science, graphical/descriptive/projective geometry, when we
are on Earth, in our usual position, standing on our legs, which end
with our feet.
If we though alter this standard referential point, then from the point
of say spider(wo)man, hanging from the ceiling with his/her head down
and legs up, we get inverse orientation, in terms of up-down and
left-right, although vertical-horizontal remains identical. When the
spider(wo)man stands though on a wall instead on the ceiling, and is
cutting the pizza nailed on the next wall, then we get what you
describe.
So, basically it depends on how computer and/or User are positioned in
the space, although Manuals/Mańuelas/Manuelit{a|o}s/Crusals/Gambals,
menus etc. are written from the standpoint of the standard position,
where the horizontal is the plane of trajectory of a moving plankton on
a still water surface, and the vertical is trajectory of a falling
brick, flowerpot or a grand piano, on a windless day/night.
The horizontal has value 0° and the vertical has value 90°, where the
referential point is the center of a nearest planet, or of a local body
influenced not by the field of gravitation of an other one.

I am in addition immensely enchanted that all the more are the requests,
and even given ear to, of a type "like in MS Outlook" regarding TB
development. It opens a new vision of another copy of Elvis happily
murmuring in a subtle shiver "Mail me tender, mail me sweet...", leaving
the building of the former TB's integrity and originality.
It resembles irresistibly the efforts of creat{ion|ure} named
"Evolution" in the Linux world, although I lean, under handsomely
lurching angle, to believe that it's rather a matter of a godfather's
typo meaning "Involution" actually.
Anyway, it's interesting to watch now and then what happens in the
search of Oscar for Confusion. (-: :pop(ular)corns:
