Pgfplots quarter-circle polar axis: drawing ticks on the 0-degree axis instead of 90-degree

Question

I've drawn a quarter-circle polar axis with pgfplots. However, the ticks are drawn on the 90-degrees axis whereas the tick labels are drawn on the 0-degrees axis. Can I fix this with pgfplots options?

In this picture, I've circled the ticks and drawn lines where I'd like them to be instead:

Code used to produce the above:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots,pgfplotstable}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\usepgfplotslibrary{polar}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \begin{polaraxis}[
    width=10cm,
    height=10cm,
    grid=both,
    grid style={dotted},
    xmax=90,
    ymax=7,
    ylabel=y label,
    ylabel style={yshift=-5mm, anchor=north},
    xtick={0,22.5,45,67.5,90},
    xticklabels={0$^\circ$,,45$^\circ$,,90$^\circ$},
  ]
  \end{polaraxis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Answer 1

I have not found anything in the chapter on polar in the documentation. There seems to be the problem with 5.10.6 "Partial Polar Axes" as well (see image below).

But, after looking into the code, I found the option ytick pos=left, that gives the desired result.

Variant 1

Code

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots,pgfplotstable}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\usepgfplotslibrary{polar}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{polaraxis}[
        width=10cm,
        height=10cm,
        grid=both,
        grid style={dotted},
        xmin=0,
        xmax=90,
        ymax=7,
        ylabel=y label,
        ylabel style={yshift=-6mm, anchor=north},
        xtick={0,22.5,45,67.5,90},
        xticklabels={0$^\circ$,,45$^\circ$,,90$^\circ$},
        ytick pos=left,
    ]
    \end{polaraxis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Variant 2

Using some code of this answer you could also put the numbers outside.

yticklabel style={
    anchor=north,
    yshift=-\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/major tick length}
},
