Rotation Tool Problem

When I rotate the whole object the rotation tool works fine.

 

However when I want to rotate a select number of polygons and just rotate the Y axis the polygons rotate to the side a bit instead of just rotating up.

 

What I want it to do (I have to manually fix the vertices to align each other each time):

What it does (polygons are wonky):

The Pivot Orientation will change depending on the current selection may it be objects, vertices, edges, polygon faces etc.

You can adjust the Pivot Orinetation by adjusting the Reference Coordinate System as per attached image.

In Polygon Face mode try switching from View to Local and see if this resolves your issue.
