Hi,

upside-down notation is maybe more natural in other cases but for maps it is IMO against unwritten standard for altitude legend.

I agree with Henry and Bruce. But maybe we could make it configurable via some parameter in layout config.

It would be if the numbers were negative, but they're not.  My vote is the traditional method of rising numbers.

Hello,
i think the upside-down notation is actually more natural and intuitively to understand.

I've just noticed that the latest development snapshot 5.4.1+4369eea
seems to have messed with the altitude legend.

You can see from the screenshot below, which shows part of identical
project compilations, one with 9d96803 and then one with 4369eea.

Pretty sure I have not made any other changes that could have caused
this at my end, and I see that some of the intervening commits on
github relate to colour changes.

Neutral (perhaps) changes are that there are more colour bands and the
colours are brighter, in the legend at least, though not in the map.

A negative change is that the altitude range is now upside down.
