Not many phones do that... Without stopping all rotation there my be a setting in the personalize menu. Or one possibly under display. I can't imagine they wouldn't give toy away to turn it off since it's unique.

Welcome to Android Central! An Auto Rotate toggle is often in the Quick Settings--swipe down from the top with two fingers. If you don't see it there, then go to Settings>Accessibility and turn off Auto Rotate there.

VidJunky is correct--not many stock launchers allow for rotation to landscape on a phone. The Google Now Launcher does it, and so does Nova. Are you using the stock Sony launcher, or an alternate launcher?
