Character Attributes on top???

I recently started using Roll20 to create characters and noticed that the Attributes display INCORRECTLY (modifier in the large box, actual score in the bubble). I've been told that there used to be a way to fix this, but I can't find anything that allows me to swap the numbers. I'm not sure why Roll20 thought this was the right way to display attributes, but it's driving me insane. Fellow nerds, please help!

Hi John! That is actually the official convention from Wizards of the Coast. Here is a screen shot from the official sample characters that were published alongside the 2014 books Although nothing prevents one from from penciling them in differently at a physical table, the Roll20 sheet follows the official convention. In 2024, the on-line sheet makes no attempt to duplicate the layout of the print sheet, but the same convention is followed in the standard view. Compact does sort of reverse the layout, in favor of presenting bonuses and saves side-by-side, to save space. Still, in both cases, the bonuses are more prominent, presumably because they are referenced far more often.
When I first transitioned from in-person D&D 3.5 to online D&D 5e (2014) it took me a minute to get used to this, but it actually makes more sense. What's more useful, the score or the modifier?
