Hi Antone,
Are you observing from the northern or southern hemisphere? The Interactive Atlas (IA) is normally configured to display the sky with North UP and East to the LEFT just like a standard terrestrial map. That's also how star atlases are drawn. Activating the Mirror and/or Flip buttons is usually (for me) done to match the atlas view with the view through the telescope or to match an image that I've taken.
