Stack Items in Rack Vertically

Hi all,

This is probably a fairly simple answer, but I can't seem to figure it out. In the model attached, how would I stack the items vertically rather than horizontally as it is? I would like to have each item stacked on top of each other.

Thanks

If this is simply for visual and not functional purposes, I would just manipulate the rack by rotating it and changing the bay width/height to your liking. The custom code required to change the visual otherwise just isn't worth it if it won't improve the functionality of your model, in my opinion.

Here's an example:
