Go to "System Preferences", click on "Displays", click "Arrangement" and simply drag the display icons to the configuration you need.

Because of physical desktop space limitations, the external monitor has to sit to the left of my laptop. However, my mac extends the desktop to the right of the screen. So I have to run the mouse off to the right on the laptop screen to get to the external monitor on the left. I didn't see anywhere in the displays settings to change this, like you would on a computer running Windows. Advice? Thanks!

With my set up the MBP is on the left, my new 24" is on the right. I am able to align the dock to the right and it shows up on the right hand side of the 24" screen. But the menu bar for all applications is back on the MBP.
