Magento: Display cart sidebaar to left

In Default, Magento themes have a my cart block in right sidebar.defined in checkout.xml in near line no 63 according to Magento ver. 1.9.0.1. If you wish to move it in to left, we can use local.xml file in layout.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="checkout/cart_sidebar" name="cart_sidebar" template="checkout/cart/sidebar.phtml" before="-">
                <action method="addItemRender"><type>simple</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer</block><template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template></action>
                <action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_grouped</block><template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template></action>
                <action method="addItemRender"><type>configurable</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_configurable</block><template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template></action>
                <block type="core/text_list" name="cart_sidebar.extra_actions" as="extra_actions" translate="label" module="checkout">
