Normal: files are numbered from a to o and spaces from bottom to top are named from 1 to 31. Rotated: files are named from 1 to 15, and “ranks” are named alphabetically from bottom, so the lowest are a and the last five (from low to upper) are δ, γ, λ, π and φ (the last).

Why add this confusion of having two different coordinate systems? Just stick to the one that doesn't use Greek letters.
