Thanks Gary, I had looked at that before, however I wanted to rotate by 270 (or -90) instead of 90 (+90), however I had the same issue as 'Timothy Watson' who also couldnt rotate the text the other way :-(
You just need to change the CSS to -90
I'm sure this is the one I used some time back, I'll throw a fiddle together now.

$("#Table1 th div").each(function(){
