This has nothing to do with WordPress versions. It’s theme-dependant.
As Esmi says above this is style dependent, but if you are asking about the default twentyten theme for WordPress 3.x then you can switch the sidebar from right to left by changing the following lines in the style.css file that is in the wp-content/themes/twentyten folder.
#primary,
#secondary {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 35%;
clear: none;
padding: 16px 0 0 16px;
}
#secondary {
clear: right;
}
#container {
float: right;
margin: 0;
width: 60%;
}
That should be enough to switch them around always assuming you are using the default theme? If you are using a particular theme then you can ask the question as theme-dependent for that particular theme.
Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme! Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.

Hi!
I am actually using the new theme http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/wsc6
It has a notably different style.css. I can’t find that section of css.
esmi, I am still getting used to child themes/exploring them, so it is alright with me if I do not update (I am currently on 3.0.4, I heard about the security release).
Can anyone help me move the sidebar on this theme?
Thanks!
Hi PiManIII,
As esmi said above you should ask this question of the theme designer.
You can set move the sidebar to the left with this theme but it will look strange. This is because the theme uses a background image to color the sidebar, and that doesn’t move across leaving the whole thing looking odd.
So your best bet is to post the question to the theme authors.
Regards,
James
