Why are 'Properties' and 'Tools' switched sides in the UV Editor?

Have I got that wrong? If I press ‘t’ or ‘n’ in the UV editor the panel opens on the opposite side to that in the 3d view. What’s the reason for this difference?

Thanks.

“What’s the reason for this difference?”
Probably the same reason the menu/toolbar defaults to the bottom of the window…who knows.
You can switch which side they are on by putting your mouse cursor over them and hitting F5.

Then, after you have swapped sides, lock it into to your start up file by pressing CTRL-U.
