I'm using moderncv{classic} and wish to switch the dates column to the right side. I'm assuming that I can do that with \renewcommand, but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions?
MWE:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
% moderncv themes
%\moderncvtheme[blue]{casual} % optional argument are 'blue' (default), 'orange', 'red', 'green', 'grey' and 'roman' (for roman fonts, instead of sans serif fonts)
\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic} % idem
\renewcommand*{\cventry}[7][.25em]{%
\cvitem[#1]{#2}{%
{\bfseries#3}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#4}{}}{}{, {\slshape#4}}% I changed this line (with comma) ...
%\ifthenelse{\equal{#4}{}}{}{ {\slshape#4}}% ... into this one (without comma).
\ifthenelse{\equal{#5}{}}{}{, #5}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}%
\strut%
\ifx&%
\else{\newline{}\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}\small#7\end{minipage}}\fi}}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\cvitemto interchange the columns used for the dates and the main content:A complete example:
