I did a short course in Directing and this was one of the things that came
up.  I think it is a rule on the stage, which has overlapped into cinema.
As it taught to me on a course in the UK I would assume that it is probably
a rule for directors.

As far as I can remember it is a psychological thing, the way we read from
left to right, and where the stronger side to enter is.

Not that I remembered any of it when I directed my one and only short movie,
so there you go.
