Displaying the U.S. Flag and Other Flags on Separate Flagpoles of the Same Height:
When the U.S. flag is flown with other flags on separate flagpoles that are all the same height, the flag code states that all other flags flown with the U.S flag should be flown to the flag’s own right, which is the position of honor. That simply means that the U.S. flag should always be placed on the left as it is most commonly observed (such as from the street or when facing a podium). The U.S. flag should be raised first and lowered last.
Other flags being displayed may be the same size and flown at the same height, but never higher nor larger than the American flag. To the right of the U.S. flag is the next position of honor and would be any state flag(s) in alphabetical order, then corporate or organization flags.
Displaying international flags has its own set of protocol, which is explained under its own heading (see below).
Displaying the U.S. Flag and Other Flags on Separate Flagpoles of Different Heights:
Many displays include poles of differing heights, with the U.S. flag in the middle on a taller pole. The tallest flagpole would display the American flag, as that is the position of honor or prominence.
The other flags in the display would be flown in this order beginning from the furthest left to right (as they will be most commonly viewed): State flag, then the taller U.S. in the middle, then corporate or organization flags, usually the same height as the first pole.
International flags could not be displayed in this configuration unless the U.S. flag is on the flagpole to the furthest left as most commonly viewed, then fly all the other international flags at the same height and of the same size in alphabetical order. (When flying on poles of different heights, the flag on the taller pole would not be flown at its peak, but lowered to be at the same height as all the others.)
