Question

When my device is in landscape mode and I modally present a view controller, this is always displayed in portrait mode, which is what I want.

However, I don’t understand why other views (modally presented) are always displayed in landscape mode instead (if the current orientation of the device is landscape). The code I use is the same for all my view controllers, and the xib file orientation property is always Portrait.

This is how I push the view controller which works (it is never displayed in landscape mode):

 - (IBAction)showImport:(id)sender
    {
        CMImportExportViewControlleriPhone *importController = [[CMImportExportViewControlleriPhone alloc] initWithNibName:@"Import-Export-iPhone" bundle:nil];
        [importController setLayoutViewController:self];
        //[importController setDelegate:self];
        [self presentModalViewController:importController animated:YES];
        [importController release];
    }

thanks

If this is initial view controller and you have settings in plist file to start application in portrait mode then it would display in portrait mode doesn;t matter what is your device orientation. When you put your device in landscap mode and present new view controller, it will be landscap as it follows the status bar orientation! Before presenting new view controller try reseting status bar to portrait mode and then present new view controller. It will be presented in portrait mode! I had this similar issue in iOS 6.0.
