Is there any way to swap the swipe direction on the carousel component in Perspective?

When I want to swipe right, the carousel swipes left or moves to the previous view instead of the next view.

I seem to have the same issue. After turning the "Fade" to true in the Carousel component my swipe direction is backwards which I would like to fix. Is this also your issue?

"Fade"=true reversing swipe direction is a bug; we're tracking it and I've added your comments. Thanks for the report.

Not sure whether to make my own post about this, but is there a way to make the carousel swipe from top to bottom or vice-versa?

Were you able to ever get an answer on this one? I am currently looking to do the same functionality for a project.

Touch events seem to be planned (which would allow custom handling of swiping gestures -- e.g. to make your own carousel) but haven't seen anything regarding the bugged carousel component.
