A friend was having trouble with this in WPS Office and asked if
LibreOffice could do better.

He's printing some bridge table cards and he wants SOUTH upside down at
the top, North rightside up at the bottom, and WEST and EAST "facing
out" at the sides. That is, when each player sits at the table, he sees
(rightside up) a directional name.

Any ideas? Thanks.

That can be done using draw.
You need to do each word in its own frame, and invert it, to get the
text upside down. Doable, but tricky.

A long time an RFE for writing upside was submitted, and
closed/rejected, because "nobody writes like that".

Yes: see my reply (copied below) to your identical enquiry nine days ago! You know it works, because I sent you a sample document at the time.
