If you flipped it upside down you'd have the orientation most common on medieval maps. In fact, the reason why we call it "orientation" ("orient" of course meaning "East") is because you used to put a map upright by putting east on the top. This is because Jerusalem was seen as the rightful top of the map as it's the city of God.
