So, the east is defined as the right side of the sun because we are looking at it and the North pole of the sun points to (currently) Polaris hence the east is to the right.
So, what happens when the poles flip, the east becomes the west, or do we continue on calling the right side the east, although the north now points 180 degrees the other way?
Is the current north pole of the sun on top?
Good question... the way to find that out would be to look up Uranus (stop snickering), as the axis is nearly in the ecliptic.
