Is it possible to have different orientation on different scene?

as the title says…

My friend is asking me to help him to make a mobile app game for his school project, one of his requirements is that, on one stage the screen orientation is portrait, then on the next stage, the screen orientation is landscape

in short
 
stage 1:  portrait only
stage 2:  landscape only
 
i think if i change my build settings to 

orientation = { default = "landscape", supported = { "landscape", "portrait"} },

stage 1 will also be in landscape [if device is flip in landscape position] and
stage 2 will also be in portrait

I don’t think this is possible.  

What I would suggest is just putting one orientation into the build.settings file, let’s say for example “portrait”.

Then in your code, you make the portrait scene as normal.

For your landscape scene, you then make it so that everything is rotated 90 degrees (i.e. if I hold the device in portrait everything is sideways). It’s not the most convenient thing to do, but it will work.
