right side up
Not flipped over
Right side up describes the correct orientation—the position something is meant to be in, with its top facing upward: Make sure the box stays right side up during shipping.
The phrase often appears on packaging as an instruction.
Figuratively, to get things right side up is to restore proper order after confusion or upheaval.
