Top to bottom?

Or left to right?

I'm involved with a discussion right now where an application I'm having developed was done with a left to right sort for tabular data. Unfortunately this doesn't work for the client and I'm catching some flack from the development side.

Is there a "best practice" for this? As a user of tabular data, I'm used to seeing it from top to bottom.
