Recently, I applied cfr's code to what I wanted (see below).

But I want to arrange this diagram from left to right in order to put into my book, that is, put the topmost box at the left side of page and stack childs upside down, how could I do it?
The following is the Modified code.
\PassOptionsToPackage{x11names,rgb}{xcolor}
\documentclass[border=5pt,tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{forest}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta, shapes.geometric, calc, shadows}
\usepackage[default]{cantarell}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\colorlet{linecol}{black!75}
\begin{document}
\pgfkeys{/forest,
my rounded corners/.append style={rounded corners=2pt},
}
\begin{forest}
for tree={
font=\sffamily,
line width=1pt,
draw=linecol,
drop shadow,
fit=rectangle,
edge={thick, color=linecol, >={Triangle[]}, ->},
where level=0{%
l sep+=5pt,
calign=child,
calign child=2,
inner color=PaleGreen1!80,
outer color=PaleGreen1,
align=center,
my rounded corners,
for descendants={%
calign=first,
},
}{%
where level=1{%
inner color=Green2!80,
outer color=Green2,
my rounded corners,
align=center,
parent anchor=west,
tier=three ways,
for descendants={%
child anchor=west,
parent anchor=west,
align=left,
anchor=west,
inner color=MistyRose1!80,
outer color=MistyRose1,
edge path={
\noexpand\path[\forestoption{edge}]
(!to tier=three ways.parent anchor) |-
(.child anchor)\forestoption{edge label};
},
},
}{}%
},
}
