I've never heard of Y pointing up. Z is always up. Unless you're talking about lathes, where Z points to the right and X points up. Whoever came up with that, I hope his frying in hell.
Screen coordinates work like this because they are 2D. X for horizontal, Y for vertical.
Oh, you need to sort your 2D graphics to figure out how to handle overlaps? Z it is!
My dude there is no up down and right outside of the coordinate system, since the coordinate system defines where up and down is
The enemy’s gate defines where down is.
