How to place checkbox icon to left of text in checkable menu item in android?

I have a recylerview with a option button in every item. On button click a popup menu is shown. In popup menu there must be a checkbox and a delete button as item. First menu item is checkbox. I have used following code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg"
  xmlns:app="http://ift.tt/GEGVYd"
  xmlns:tools="http://ift.tt/LrGmb4"
>
<item
    android:id="@+id/action_watch"
    android:checkable="true"
    android:title="Watch"
    app:showAsAction="always"
    />

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_delete"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_delete"
    android:title="Remove"
    app:showAsAction="withText|always"/>
</menu>

Problem is checkbox appears right of its text. I want it in left, but i can't. please help. TIA
