Crossing the legs

Question

Hello, dear Master. I simply wanted to ask whether it is important to switch legs when sitting in lotus. I ask because we are normally told to put the right foot on the left thigh and then the left leg on the right thigh, but someone told me that, for balance, it is important to do the exact opposite after kinhin. Thank you for your attention.
