How can I re-orient a polar scatter plot so zero is at the top?

The default orientation for a polarscatter plot is with the zero to the right hand side and 90 degrees at the top. I have geographical data (so zero degrees is north) and so I want the zero to be at the top and the numbers to increase clockwise. I've looked in all the axis properties but I can't see any way of doing this. I need to use a scatter plot because I want to colour code the markers. Is it possible to re-orient it?

th = rand(1,10)*2*pi; % Angles
r = rand(size(th)); % Radii
figure
polarscatter(th, r, 75, 'filled')
title('Original')
figure
hps = polaraxes; % First, Declare A 'polaraxes' Object & Return Its Handle
polarscatter(th, r, 75, 'filled'); % Then Use 'polarscatter'
hps.ThetaZeroLocation = 'top'; % Change Angle Origin
hps.ThetaDir = 'clockwise'; % Change Angle Direction
title('Desired Result')
I am not certain when these properties were introduced. This works in R2021a.

The ThetaZeroLocation property is not a polarscatter property. It is a polaraxes property. That is the reason I declared polaraxes first, then plotted onto it with polarscatter.

th = linspace(0,2*pi,20);
r = rand(1,20);
sz = 75;
figure;
subplot(121)
polarscatter(th,r,sz,'filled')
subplot(122)
h = polarscatter(pi/2-th,r,sz,'filled'); % North, Clockwise
thetaTick = h.Parent.ThetaTick;
h.Parent.ThetaTickLabel = string(wrapTo360( 90-thetaTick));
