but the x axis displays horizontally, as row, and when matrices are
multiplied i is interpreted as column index, i.e., as index along row.

You mean A[0,0] is followed by A[1,0] in memory, right?
So memory is arranged as in fortran arrays (first index fastest), but
the interpretation as row and column indices is different.
