"We're talking about two different things here, the panel orientation which is either horizontal or vertical (and since 4.10 there's a deskbar mode added to that). The plugins themselves are free to layout their widgets/labels horizontally or vertically, depending on the panel mode. We're in the process of making that consistent across plugins, ie layout labels vertically in vertical panel mode. But the plugins have to be fixed for that, so some plugins dont work this way yet.

Ah, ok, but the date-time plugin does re-arrange itself when the panel is made vertical.
