Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 Rotation – The Pi Hut https://share.google/nXi6lwkCiYxjnoVxP
that's wrong! the V2 display is 720x1280 pixels, hence the above will not work. 720x1280 is not equal to 1280x720 here.Rotating the Display
If you have access to the desktop environment, select 'Screen Configuration' from the 'Preferences' menu. Right-click on the touch display rectangle (likely DSI-1) in the layout editor, select 'Orientation', then pick the best option to fit your needs.
No Desktop Access? No problem! Use the following command in a terminal window:
sudo nano /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt
Then add one of the lines to the end of the file, depending on the orientation you need (orientation is controlled by the number at the end:
video=DSI-1:1280x720@60,rotate=0
video=DSI-1:1280x720@60,rotate=90
video=DSI-1:1280x720@60,rotate=180
video=DSI-1:1280x720@60,rotate=270
This information was taken from the Raspberry Pi Documentation Page for the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2.

for rotation WITH GUI you either use the Screen configuration editor or you do that via config.txt

Default is for having the display connected to DSI-1
