... how do you hold a bunch of cards in your hand?

What is the order you (probably) automatically choose, on which side (left or right when you look at the cards in your hand) is the whole face of a card visible? This order might not be clear to you until you really try diversify the cards on your hand (but maybe you can also imagine how you'd put the cards).

My apologies for being strange, but I'm very curious about this.
Personally, I can see the whole face of the card that is put on the left. This order is annoying when the card's values are only printed on the top left and bottom right corner of a card. But in Germany, by standart most editions of cards come with values in every corner of a card, thus the order of holding them doesn't matter. Most people I met seem to prefer the reverse order of mine (btw, regardless if they are right or left hander). May I ask for your automatically chosen, "favourite" order?
Please also state, if your card game's values are printed in certain corners of a card. Thanks a lot for participation!!!
