Hello,

I wonder about the following behavior


In [1]: import sympy as sp

In [2]: x, y = sp.symbols('x, y', commutative = False)

In [3]: M1 = x*sp.eye(2)

In [4]: M2 = y*x*sp.eye(2)

In [5]: y*M1-M2
Out[5]:
Matrix([
[x*y - y*x,         0],
[        0, x*y - y*x]])



I would have expected that the two matrices are equal.

However, multiplying y from the right to M1 results in products where y
is on the left side:

In [6]: y*M1
Out[6]:
Matrix([
[x*y,   0],
[  0, x*y]])


For reference two other results:

In [7]: M2
Out[7]:
Matrix([
[y*x,   0],
[  0, y*x]])

In [8]: M1*y
Out[8]:
Matrix([
[x*y,   0],
[  0, x*y]])


Questions:

1. Is this behavior intended?
2. Is there any (easy) way to achieve my intended behavior, i.e.
respecting multiplication order when using matrix multiplication.


Thanks,
Carsten.
