the subject of the request

SUMMARY
I believe the toggle beside "manually block sleep and screen locking" should be on the right, not on the left.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plasma 6.5.91
2. Click the network icon in the bottom panel

OBSERVED RESULT
Left to right: Toggle, "manually block sleep and screen locking"

EXPECTED RESULT
"manually block sleep and screen locking", toggle

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Nixos
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.91
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I believe it should be on the right as thats how we read: the eyes start on the left and follow to the right side to find the actionable element - the toggle. Right now it doesn't feel natural. Another point is that in other platforms (Android comes to mind), the toggle is usually on the right.

I see its quite common to have the toggle on the left throughout plasma but also in some places its on the right (e.g. system settings -> bluetooth).

Attaching some pictures.

Basically food for thought... Would be nice to consolidate this

kind of relevant example from system settings

This is not the best example as the window is wide and the action is quite far from the text, resulting in a long mouse travel.

By contrast, in the network applet the window is always narrow so the distance would not be as long.
