something like this?
\renewcommand{\section}[1]{%
\vspace{2.3ex}\refstepcounter{section}
\ifthenelse{\isodd{\value{page}}}{%
% the oddpart
\normalfont\Large\bfseries%
\begin{center}#1\ \thesection\end{center}
\normalsize\normalfont\vspace{2.3ex}%
}{%
% the evenpart
\normalfont\Large\bfseries%
\hfill\begin{center}\thesection\ #1\end{center}
\normalsize\normalfont\vspace{2.3ex}%
}%
}
