If you have double sinks, one sink drain always runs horizontal at least 12 to 18 inches before connecting to the other sink drain going to the P-trap, so there shouldn't be a problem.

I cut the pipe, removed the glued in p-trap and flipped the drain pipes connecting to the sink drains 180 degrees. Then I put in a new P-trap on the right side with the P-trap pointing toward the wall. I added new pipe and additional elbows to run the pipe back to the wall and then along the wall. I also had to move the air admittance valve to the left rear corner and reconnected to the existing pipe. Gained back the 40 percent lost space.
