I bought small American flag, New York State flag and U. S. Navy flag and three stands. They're small enough to display on my desk and I want to put them in a row. If I am standing in front of my desk, looking at them which would be on my left, middle and right? I tried google search but kind of confusing.

Good question - When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right.

The American flag is always to the left as you are looking at them. If you have flag poles the American flag should be higher then the others. http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html

It depends on whether or not you want them as you see them, or the folks that come into the office. Then they would be to the RIGHT as you see them so they would be to the LEFT as the viewer when they walk into the office. Just my 2 cents...
From the US Flag Etiquette:

I would think you could put them in any order, but the American Flag should be slightly higher. If it were me, I would put them from L-R (NY Flag, American Flag, Navy Flag).
