How to change VScode split editor button from horizontal to vertical

Question

Updated Vscode and the new split editor button, now splits editors horizontally. It used to be vertically. How do I set it back to the way it once was — vertically?

use Alt+Shift+1 to toggle between horizontal and vertical splitting.

Note: Don't use 1 from number pad.

You also can achieve this with view --> Toggle editor group layout
