You've still slightly missed Ethan's point.  Those point styles have 
_two_ 'using' columns, one of which is x, the other y.  Yes, exchanging 
the column numbers will then, effectively, mirror your data with respect 
to the line y=x.  Combined with the y axis reversal, that rotates the plot.

But your plot with filledcurves has _three_ 'using' specifiers: x, y1, 
and y2.  Giving those backwards still leaves you with the second 
specifier serving as y1.  So you haven't rotated the plots, you've 
completely mixed it up.  You would run into essentially the same problem 
with most multi-column data plot styles: errorbars, boxes, candlesticks, 
etc.

For some of those, you can still get what you want by switching plot 
styles (errorbars to xerrorbars, e.g.), or by using a symmetric pattern 
of using specifications (e.g. xyerrorbars with 4 or 6 columns). 
Filledcurves, though, does not allow that.  You would need something 
like an xfilledcurves plot style, which doesn't exist.
