top-bottom split screen?

When a monitor is rotated, how can the left-right split screen feature be used as a top-bottom split instead?

How do you Rotate the Studio Display? How do you rotate an Apple Studio Display? This setting used to be in the display settings, and still is from what I can see on other displays. It looks like it’s removed specifically for Apple displays. I can even rotate my Samsung display in the usual fashion, just in Display Prefs. But with my Apple display it is just not there. Photos below with shots of prefs. I saw recommendations for a synaptics app but that seems to be a scam/spam comment. Unless someone can SHOW me how to do this with that app. Can you truly not rotate a $1500 display when I could go buy one for $100 and do it? I feel crazy here. Please someone help.

pivoting monitor I bought. a new Samsung monitor that has a pivoting capability. After purchasing it and setting it up, a Samsung support rep informed me that I must go into the OS settings and manually change the monitor orientation to make the screen image rotate. I do not see any such setting option. Does anyone have a solution?

Just to add, there is no top to bottom split screen with normal orientation so there would be no reason it would exist with a rotated display. There are third party apps than can emulate top to bottom split screens. SizeUp being one. I'm sure there are others.
