right to left
Arabic reading order
Right to left describes the direction of reading or writing in certain languages—Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu among them.
In computing, right-to-left (RTL) refers to text rendering and interface design that accommodates these scripts: The app needs right-to-left support for Arabic users.
The phrase also describes any horizontal movement in that direction: Read the numbers right to left.
