It is customary practice, when showing both the debits and credits for 
an account, to have the debit column to the left of the credit column.

What is confusing you is forgetting that your point of view and the 
bank's point of view they are opposite. The money in your account is a 
asset for you, normally a debit balance, but it is a liability for the 
bank, a credit balance. They owe you that money.

The statement you get from the bank is your account with them from their 
point of view. That should be opposite from your point of view (what's 
in your books, not their books)
