You could try playing the thing at its own game.

This might work.

Make a copy of the photograph, and rotate through 90 degrees, save and then save that to the album.

You may need to experiment so that the photo is oriented right way up rather than inverted!

Photos taken with modern cameras and phones store information about its orientation (portrait or landscape) and smart viewing software uses this to display the photo correctly. When you upload the photo to an album, the orientation information is lost. Therefore the photo orientation has to be corrected before you upload it.

I'm running Windows 7 and when I view photos with My Computer, I see them in their stored orientation. Right click and can rotate and re-size. (not sure if I have installed add on software in the past). I always re-size photos before uploading to speed up the transfer.

I use a free program called Irfanview (https://www.irfanview.net/) to view, edit, resize etc all photos when I put them on my computer. I've used it on all versions since Windows XP. It's very simple to rotate photos and does a pretty good job of simple editing. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Or almost any photo editor will do the trick. I use gimp, but wouldn't recommend it for just this purpose because it's so complicated!

The underlying problem is digital cameras and computer software have no natural frame of reference to decide what's up or down in portrait or landscape. Cameras record their best guess by setting several indicators inside the image, and computer software might not use all the clues when displaying the image. So rotation data is sometimes lost in translation as images move from camera to computer, between computers, and back over the internet.

The cure is to edit images before uploading them. When a human being tells an image which way is up, all the indicators in the image obey the order, and any ambiguities are removed.

Bit of a pain to do. Moderators can rotate pictures in posts, but not albums, and I usually rotate any wrong 'uns I see. I can do requests too! Rotating is slightly dangerous because every so often it upsets the rest of a posts formatting, which takes time to correct. So I don't rotate unless I've got time to fix any collateral damage as well!
