The more prosaic explanation is probably that when lighting in the doorway, we light the side closest to the door first, as thats the essential mitzvah.

But I wonder  do we really consider the rightmost candle of day 2 to be the same candle as the rightmost of day 1? In which case, it would be tadir vesheeino tadir, tadir qodem to start on the right!

I think that ti is simple the applciation fo teh principle of Maalin bakodesh. Each candle place had as much kedusha as the number of times it has already been lit. You start with one that has not yet been lit, then go to one that is being lit for the 2nd time, then 3rd time etc - maalin bakodesh.
