Y axis where Z axis is by default w/ surface [message #17382]

ok, simple question
in a surface plot (or shade_surf), how do I make my Y axis
run down the left side like the Z axis does by default. e.g, I
have an array data[] like:

-0.0 1.0 1.1 1.2
-0.5 2.0 2.2 2.5
-1.0 1.0 3.3 5.0

then I surface it with:
depth = data[0,*] ;1st column of data[]
timeStep = [0,1,2] ;create values for axis
values = data[1:*,*] ;rest of data[]
surface, values, timestep, depth

I've played mercilessly with the Ax, Az keywords to rotate the
damn thing, but I need an Ay to get the desired effect! I thought
I could just rotate about the x axis 90 degrees with Ax keyword,
but this doesn't really rotate about x, it tilts the plot toward or
away from you (poor behavior IMO). Really, I just want my Y
and Z axes (axes?) to switch places.
Can someone be my savior, please before I resort to extreme
violence in the workplace?

thanks.
