I think they get confused when you change their orentation too often.

Regrading the rotation of your orchid:
1. After flowering you should put the Cymbidium orchid plant in bright light.
2. To get the Cymbidium orchids to re-flower you must expose the orchid plant to temperatures below 10°Celsius or 55°Fahrenheit for three weeks with twelve hours or more of darkness nightly. Then raise temperature and give full sun.
These are to two rules that I generally follow with my Cymbidiums. Hope it will work for you.
