I guess Genogram is by default and standard "descending" so that parents are above and children are below. But very often I am asked about a Family Tree, showing ancestors as roots, parents as branches and younglings as leaves. As Trees usually tend to grow upwards, these people I've spoken with are hoping to at least view the genogram in a different way. By "to view" I mean it wouldn't be necessary to change all the stuff like when adding a child it goes under the parents, but temporarily switch between these two views. Editing could be done in standard mode. The whole point of this is, once again, that nobody would need to do all this by hand.
