Physical pole reversal? That's happened a few times in earth's history. I would think it would cause major climate changes. Antarctica was once a tropical continent. Some flooding, but not so much as you would think. And of course, the sun would rise in the west and set in the east.

There's no need to capsize the Earth to reverse the direction of the sunrise, just reverse the rotation of the Earth.
It should be noted during the reversal, an Earth day will become longer and longer.
But so long as there're no strange creatures come out, the sunrise would never be reversed.
As for what happened if Earth is capsized.
Well, the Earth's climate would change, that's for sure.

Assuming such a thing was possible. Nothing. North would become south, south would become north, east west, west east but climatically the net result could be catastrophic. North America and Europe would see an increase in temperature (as they would sit aproximately where Australia and Argentina sit. Australia would get extremely cold very quickly and it could actually cause millions of deaths as they are not aclimitzed to winter weather. This is completely hypothetical as the likelyhood of such an event happening is nothing short of ridiculous.
What is more plausible is if there was a sudden shift of the teutonic plates. Some scientist have theorised that such a shift could explain the extinction of life in Atlantic (assuming such a place existed and Plato wasn't just making it up). The sudden shift, to say where Antartica current resides, would have killed everyone who lived there. The sudden drop in tempeture would be extreme to say the least.

It won't so why worry about it. Move to Australia and you'll find out
