Dumb axis question

I have a little creature whose head is pointing down the positive z axis. I want
it to point down the positive x axis. What's the best way to rotate all the prims
such that the whole thing is, at the end, pointed down the axis I want?

I just know this must be easy, but I can't figure it out

Can't you link them then rotate using the angular grid snap?

I might be missing the boat, but that seems to rotate the local
coordinate system as well. llSensor looks down the positive x
axis of the local coordinate frame I believe, and when I rotate the
creature, that rotates as well.

I think I'm confusing myself even further now. Hmmm.

Better explanation would probably help. I think this is a scripting problem tho and best asked there. You're trying to rotate child prims in a linked object?

I'm trying to get llSensor to point down the head of the object, so, yeah, probably a scripting question. Thanks!
