for a permanent setting there are two options:

  :help 'splitbelow'
  :help 'splitright'

For a case by case decision you can prefix any command with

  :vertical
  :leftabove
  :aboveleft
  :rightbelow
  :belowright
  :topleft

or

  :botright

> Or is there a way to swap two windows?

See

  :help CTRL-W_x

Jürgen
