the eyes goes naturaly on left side of the screen or the news paper. 

on a document, screen  or news paper  the left position is usualy for important matter.

Saving is more important than unsaving ...


recently 3 or 4 years  someone change this order of confirm box.

Thank you very much anyway for your very good job on this software  of freedom.

It's a FAQ [1]. Windows HIG [2] defines the sequence as OK, Cancel, Apply, Help, meaning the confirmation at left (when not dangerous). Most desktop environments of Linux does the same as Windows.
macOS [3] turns that around places Save/Appy/Ok, i.e. the positive action, to the right and Cancel at left. 
Finally Android [4] defines affirmative actions like Delete or Remove to be placed on the right side and continue the process, while dismissive actions are placed directly to the left of affirmative actions and return the user to the originating screen or step in the process.

So what's right depends on component and hardware -> NEEDINFO. I believe that LibO handles the placement correctly, in general.
