How to choose workspace layout?

Hello Xfce community,

I've used Xfce for years and am quite happy with it, so first of all, thanks!

A while ago, my fingers seemed to have lost their workspace navigation knowledge. A lot of times when switching workspaces, they just couldn't find the right keys anymore. At the same time, my startup script placed lots of my usual windows on the wrong workspaces, visible in the workspace preview applet.
Turns out, neither my fingers nor the keys changed, nor did my startup script  get buggy, but instead the workspace layout is transposed (mirrored on a \ line).

What I'm used to: Down, then right. (Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS precise, Xfce 4.8)
New layout: Right, then down. (Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS trusty, Xfce 4.10)

Is there any way to choose the layout? In the settings manager, all I could find about workspaces were names and borders.

Best regards,
Bernd
