Not sure if I am understanding exactly what you want but if its just that you want the current X axis to move when you ask the Y to and vice versa then change the step and dir pin numbers around.
At the moment you have
X Step 2 X Dir 6
Y Step 3 Y Dir 7
Change them to
X Step 3 X Dir 7
Y Step 2 Y Dir 6
If thats not what you are meaning try again with your explanation.
