I use a mmo mouse with 12 keys, as do many other people in this game.
Previously, as to simulate the 3x4 key layout, I used the addon bartender.
I was thrilled to hear that WoW was finally getting its own edit mode, but the problem is that the main action bar, where keys 1-12(=) are bound, grows from the bottom-up. 1 is in the bottom-left instead of the top-left.
Now, I could just set new keybinds, but then, vehicle UIs that use the main action bar keybinds are reversed, and start at 12(=) and go down, instead of starting at 1 and going up.
The variable used to set this to the correct orientation is “MainMenuBar.addButtonsToTop=false” followed by “MainMenuBar.updateGridLayout()”. I tried to add it into an addon but the variable’s protected and it causes an error.
Please fix this for any current and future mmo mouse users. Thanks!

I came here to post this very same issue. I don’t even use an mmo mouse, but it still causes a big problem for how I prefer my UI to be set up.

I’ve been looking for a solution for this since 10.0 launched. To use an action bar replacement addon just for this minor thing defeats the new UI overhaul purpose and reduces its value.
This function should be included at least for action bar 1. It would be a welcomed change for 10.0.5, or 10.1.

Action bars are completely upsidedown when you make them with 2 rows, and im having this issue. This is causing my vehicle commands to not work properly.

I did Upper left to bottom right like you are wanting for years. So with it starting in the bottom left, it just felt awful. But I figured it out, and it was so simple:
What I am used to:
1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
Now is:
7 8 9 10 11 12
1 2 3 4 5 6
So I just bound 7 to what 1 was. 8 to what 2 was. 9 to what 3 was. It works exactly the same as what you are after, it just feels odd setting it up…
So even though 7 is the upper left, just make that what normally your upper left button was. It sounds weird but it works just fine and gives you exactly what you are looking for.
there is an addon fix for this: action-bar-button-growth-direction

im glad i saw this. i just today decided id finally make the swap from bartender and almost went back right away. how can this STILL be an issue? the edit mode is making me upset enough without being able to change where certain things are (like the dungeon finder queue symbol thing) but for the first thing to be the action bar populating in the wrong direction was ROUGH
