What I don't understand is why you need it. Because in my 2.10, if I open a portrait image from my camera (right, top or left, bottom), Gimp auto-rotates it correctly, and as far as I remember EXIF orientation shenanigans have been solved a very long time ago, when Windows XP and its broken image viewer still ruled.
What I suspect is that your image has been edited and re-encoded by some utility that rotated the encoding but the left the original orientation. This was typical of the Windows image viewer (up to XP & Vista IIRC). Some ways to check:
- Utilities (at least file and ImageMagick) show the image size as encoded, independently of the rotation. So a portrait image encoded as portrait and without rotation is 200x300 while one from a camera (always encoded as landscape, plus additional rotation) would be reported as 300x200.
- Rotation 6 means that the image is rotated 90° clock wise. So if the image shows with its top on the right, it means it is indeed encoded with its small dimension first and there should be no rotation flag.
