(OP)
Hi in a structural layout plan we can call the RC beams for example 220x550mm
why must the width actually be alwyas in the front? Is there a rule for?

In Australia, for example, in a framing plan a RC beam is shown width first, followed by depth - because in plan view you see the "width".
However, in the USA and Canada they call out the depth followed by width on a framing plan. I guess because the depth is the structurally critical dimension.
What ever way you use, place a note in your drawing notes describing your method of tagging etc.
