How to place UIBarButtonItem on the right side of a UIToolbar?

I have designed a view with a toolbar that appears modally in Interface Builder. I have a UIBarButtonItem that is on the left hand side, which I would like to appear on the right hand side of the toolbar. How can I do this in IB, or via code?

Here's how to do it in code if anyone comes across this post:

UIBarButtonItem *leftButton = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Item" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(btnItem1Pressed:)] autorelease];

UIBarButtonItem *flex = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil] autorelease];

UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Item" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(btnItem2Pressed:)] autorelease];


self.toolbarItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: leftButton, flex, rightButton, nil];
