Ah, but using that line of thought would also require the books to be put on the shelf with the pages facing forward, and the spine to the back. The best consistency of pages you could want, except you'd not be able to identify the book. So whereas that could create the order of the books, turning them around so you can see the spine would put the lowest/earliest volume on the left (where it was initially), and the latter to the right of it/them.
