dng imported but orientation wrong when portrait

[halina.photography]

I've figured out how to import dng's by not importing from the lightroom catalogue and adding the file/folder to the catalogue instead but I don't believe the changes I have made in lightroom are being interpreted including the orientation of all my portrait files...
Help Please - I have literally thousands of these types of files and have just bought this software (which costs more in Aussie dollars + GST) ...

Thanks
