left to right
How English reads
Left to right describes the direction of movement or reading order that proceeds from the left side toward the right.
This is the standard direction for written text in English and most European languages: Read the names left to right.
It also describes how the eye scans images, how processes unfold sequentially, or how items are arranged: The photos are organized left to right, from oldest to newest.
