The orientation of CAD representation in the Visualization tab in part structure browser and in Creo view is showing upside - down. while it is showing correct orientation when opening in Creo and also in the thumbnails in windchill. 

Any solution is available for this ?

Creo View can be used to visualize modern vs legacy orientations:
Navigate to Orientations Customize and select Use legacy PV Standard orientations to auto convert the inputted values 

This one explains why they are different
