Change orientation of CUI buttons?

Hello! I hope you are all doing well. I was just making a plugin that has a UI front and was wondering if I could change the orientation of how the buttons in a panel go. Typically they go down, but I was wondering if I could make them go to the side.

Thanks in advance,

Buttons do not technically have an "orientation" feature, or any way to "dock" controls or buttons to the parent window like you might see with other tools (e.g. Windows Forms).

All buttons or controls must have "absolute" positioning.  Some plugins try to add "docking" or "orientation" but that not a built-in feature in the GUI system.

Absolute positioning means that each control must specify a position: X, Y, Height, Width.  Changing the "orientation" of buttons would simply mean moving them, or changing their position.
