Rotating plants in spike will cause their spikes to adjust and you can "help" it grow straighter this way, but be careful. Once the buds appear, rotating will cause the buds to twist back towards the light as well. This can result in upside-down, sideways, or deformed flowers.
Personally, I keep my phals facing one direction. I used to rotate them 180 degrees while growing leaves to keep them upright, but they still wanted to flop and I've simply decided to let them grow as they want. Although the flowers usually face the window, I can still enjoy them and if I really want a good look at them, it's not hard to turn the plant around for a moment to get a better view.
