CONFUSED! Planner in month view days/ dates don't conform to standard layout Sunday - Saturday or Monday – Sunday

In the planner month view - the date/day of the month doesn't line up with the correct day of the week. For example August 1st began on a Saturday, which would be positioned in column 6 or 7 on a regular calendar, depending if you are starting your calendar week on Sunday or Monday. In planner view Saturday Aug 1 is in the first column (Sunday position) and the days just roll with no rhyme or reason (to me). It is very confusing to not see the day/date in the usual calendar column. I spend time trying to find the date/day I'm looking for because it doesn't match the Calendar view on the schedule.  Is it supposed to appear this way?  I don't understand the layout for the month.  Help!
