Is there a report in the Sunnah regarding advancing a specific foot when entering a cemetery?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Did the Sunnah mention advancing one foot over the other when entering a cemetery?

Answer:
No, that is for the mosque. One advances the right foot when entering and the left foot when exiting. Likewise, in the place of relieving oneself, one advances the left foot when entering and the right foot when exiting, which is the opposite of the mosque. As for anything else, I am not aware of anything being reported.
