[v453000][2.0.77] Substations have the red/green wire position switched around, compared to poles

Issue:
Substations and electric poles have different positions for red and green wire, with no possibility to rotate them. While obviously something minor, it adds to the visual clutter and sometimes can make circuit debugging harder.

Expected behavior:
Red and green wires would not cross when switching post type. For example, red wire would always stay "south", and green wire "north", in order to keep it consistent with the electric poles (both small, medium and big have red wire south, green wire north configuration).

Thank you!

There are no requirements saying which wire connector should be on the north or south side in this situation, nothing is broken here so i will say it is Not a bug as it is well within graphics team authority to decide where should the connectors be.

-- edit:

Graphics team claim they cannot unsee this so moving back to bug reports.

Apologies!
Functionally it is 100% NOT a bug, but unfortunately its still rather bugs me

. And with 2.1 being in the works I thought it would be a good time to bring it up.
And thank you very much for following up on this! Wish you all a great day!

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for 2.1.14.
