Google’s results for sports standings has Eastern Conference on the left and Western Conference on the right and it bothers me to no end!

    Swapping the tabs would move them out of alphabetical order which would just end up annoying someone else.

      Damn, you’re right… this is more of an issue than I realized.

      east is prob the default, too. and the default should be the left tab.

      Also, and probably related to that, people generally say “east and west” rather than “west and east”.

      Similarly, “north and south” rather than “south and north”.

      In both cases the latter version just sounds wrong somehow.

      Brilliant! It was so obvious the whole time.

    Alphabetical order, but still annoying

      At least left and right are correct in that regard. 😏

    If it makes you feel better, they probably did this so that they’re in alphabetical order

      Marginally better… like from a 7 to a 6.8. 😉

    Just turn your chair around and it’ll switch.

    Just reorient the map like they did on ancient maps! Then East can be on top and West on the bottom.

    I’m dyslexic and struggle with both left/right and east/west, so it seems right to me :shrug: lol
