Can someone explain the order that we list the molecules in the cell diagram?

Anode half reaction is on the left side of the double line with the molecule losing electrons on the left side of the single line. The cathode half reaction is on the right side of the double line with the molecule gaining the electrons on the left side of the single line.

the anode half reaction and cathode half reaction are separated by the double line which represents a salt bridge

The order also goes from left to right on the anode: solid, gas, and aqueous is next to the salt bridge. For the cathode, it would be aqueous, gas, solid.

In addition, my ta told me that Lavelle prefers you put the aqueous elements closer to the double line (salt bridge) in the middle, and platinum (if included) on the outside.
