Import game with specific board orientation

Somehow the PGN import seems to behave randomly. I imported a game twice, and in the two imported games the "default" board orientation is different (once from white's point of view, once from black's). See the games below.

It would be nice to know how to actually control this.

There was an old post on the same issue but it was archived without a solution: https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/how-to-import-a-game-with-a-specific-board-orientation-#8

The PGN format doesn't care about display format, it contains only essential game info. How that game is displayed is entirely up to the app. The app user is usually allowed to configure the game display to their own preferences ...
