Emoji iPad position

Just bought new iPad 10 and the position of the emoji button has swapped with numbers? Still have my old iPad Pro running iOS 16 but they haven’t changed? So, can I alter this somehow?.

While the layout is not user-configurable, Apple do invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. For iPad and iPadOS:
