The answer

The rule of Sharia is to prioritize the right for everything that is honorable, and to prioritize the left for everything that is demeaning. Al-Nawawi mentioned examples of this. As for entering and exiting the home, there is no specific evidence regarding which foot to present first, and the matter is flexible. There is no harm in presenting either foot, as the notion of honor or dishonor is not clearly apparent in this matter.
