Splitting window in Vim

When doing a vsplit of the window on a file in vim, the default positioning of the vertical window is to the left of the original window. I need to manually change it to the right with "Ctrl+w + Shift + L"

Is there any way of opening a vertical split by default to the right?

If you have the files in buffers already, this will work 

:vert belowright sb N

where N is the name of the buffer

:set splitright

will do what you want. Also there is a splitbelow option which is for horizontal split.
