The first Saff (row) in Salaat begins from the right side of the Muadhin and then the left. Similarly the Saffs thereafter begin directly behind the position of the Muadhin.
Some Musallees stubbornly stand at the extreme side; while others follow making the Saff from that point. This is more evident during Taraweeh in the bigger Masjids.
Another disturbing thing that is often becoming notable is that children stand in the rows of the men while some fathers may ignorantly place their little ones besides them in the rows of the men. Others deliberately make their children stand next to them in the Saffs of the men. The irony of the whole thing is that these fathers become very angry when asked to send the children to the back. For everything is a set of rules and some code of conduct. If the fathers feel that their children shall cause disturbance then they may stand with them at either extreme of the rows of the men.
