  1. False.

    In traditional accounting practice, when preparing a journal entry, the debits are listed before the credits. The standard format for a journal entry is to list all debits first, each on a new line, and then list the credits, usually indented slightly, to distinguish them from the debits. This format helps maintain clarity and consistency in financial records.
