Description
The default orientation ("left") is not the one typically used to display dendrograms. The Plotly default ("bottom") is a better choice to use as the Lexos default, with "right" as the alternative.
That said, the Plotly orientation names are the opposite of those used by scipy.cluster.hierarchy.dendrogram, where "top" is used to orient the dendrogram with its root at the top. To me, this is much more intuitive. If I had my preference, I would use the scipy labels of "top" and "left" in the UI and convert them to "bottom" and "right" when generating the Plotly dendrogram.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the dendrogram orientation controls and the Plotly dendrogram generation path, then compare the current default and alternative values with the Plotly and scipy orientation conventions described in the issue. Done means the chosen UI labels, default, alternative, and conversion behavior are consistent.
