I don't understand this question. Singular values aren't left or
right; singular vectors are. Singular values are ordered by their
size, from largest to smallest. The x matrix doesn't have singular
values in any particular order; the s diagonal matrix does, from
largest to smallest.

Does this answer your question, even if I didn't understand it?
