I had same problem.
Rotating the model is no solution but after rotating my buidl plate will be to small for the model.
Has anybody an solution?

@LordMM Instead of rotating the whole model you could change Top/Bottom Line Directions to [0, 90] (switch/change the numbers as needed).

Elegant! Thanks.

It's a shame this isn't being fixed, times have changed, my main printer a Bambu P1S is much faster than my old Enders hence the new bridge feature would be very useful. I need to slow the bridges down because a speed of 150 or more causes the line ends to not connect and peel upwards. This then affects the next layer and causes issues like bumps. But from all my testing and playing with settings as discussed above and indeed re-designing my part with different internal supports, the bridge always finds away to go the worst direction, the longest direction. It sounds like a simple fix, just 90 degree whatever Cura is doing right now. Or just like the top surface skin line direction setting, create a new setting like the first bridge layer line direction.

Programming rule #7: A "simple fix" is never simple.
Cura's slicing engine is very complex internally so even adding what seems like a little thing without breaking anything else in the process can be a lot harder than it sounds.

I came here to ask this question too! I have a 6cm x 10cm void to bridge (I know that’s big, but the attached photos are just test prints for a larger design, so I can't print it flipped over 180).
The only thing getting in my way is not being able to change the direction of the initial bridge layer. Nothing will force them to stop laying diagonal first layer, and my printed version of this test print shows that my settings can work with all but the longest of diagonal stretches. I just need to be able to tell it the first layer needs to be 90 degrees.
