Yes, but I don't see why you'd want that.  You'd end up with a world 
where east was up on your monitor.  I've often seen "reversed" maps 
where south is up, but having east up doesn't really serve a purpose.

It's not really a model for a uranus-like world either; this type 
shouldn't have poles (that is, the poles aren't any colder than the rest 
of the map, on average - though I'm sure the temperature variation and 
climate are quite different).
