I've seen it both ways, I think for the most part it has to do with the vent for the dryer being closest to an outside wall.

I think the store installed it where it made sense. How was it installed before, or is this a new construction?

I've seen washer and dryer on either side, generally with the dryer closest to an outside wall. But it wasn't an install issue, it was a builder issue.

No, I don't believe there is a right way or a wrong way, that is why you can buy either a left opening or a right opening door for both front loading washer and dryers.
