Circular pattern with rotated instances?

$

I'm trying to create a circular pattern where the instances are sequentially rotated 180° about their radial centerline.  I thought maybe this could be done using a "CSYS to CSYS" orientation.  So I tried it, with the "Specify From CSYS" kept at its default, and the "Specify To CSYS" rotated 60° about the Z-axis and 180º about the Y-axis (which is aligned with the radial direction of the part).  Below is what I got (highlighted part is the original).  As you can see, the first instance is in the correct orientation, but the remaining are not.  When properly aligned, the ends of each instance should touch, forming one continuous "wave".  So apparently there's something I'm not quite understanding with how this works.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!
