Dumb question: reversing orientation?

[Kosmic Debris]

[EDIT] Resolution was using "control from here" on the Mothership MechJeb vs. the RC-L01

I built an interplanetary ship and docked a lander to it upside-down as the easiest approach. The entire ship now thinks retrograde is prograde, as it seems to force it's orientation to the lander can. I've clicked on "control from here" on the node on the ship, but to no avail.

Not a big PITA, but is there a means to reverse which way the ship thinks it's pointing?

"Control from here" is the way to fix it, not sure why it isn't working for you, it can reset itself frequently on some craft though.

Is there no change in the navball when selecting each pod as the control source? What about a suitably placed docking port?

Did you try both docking nodes? Maybe you are using the wrong one?

"Control from here" should fix it, but be aware that each time you go to IVA view, the ship's orientation will be set to that of the last crewed capsule you visited in IVA.

Key was "control from here"...but on the mothership MechJeb and not the RC-L01.

Thanks, folks

Sorry for the necro, but this is one of the top results on a google search so I think an updated answer should be here.

Step one:

Use Control From Here to be sure you are controlling the correct ship.

Step two:

Right click the controlling part and you can inverse the control orientation from there.
