--- Comment #8 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> ---
Hello Amin,

Unfortunately, your opening comment and your attachment "current and expected
situation" - contradict.

In your opening comment, you've listed the "expected results" to the ordering
of numbers that in your attachment is described as inappropriate/undesirable.
You've also stated that's not what you get in LO.

Well, I'll assume that you mixed up "expected" and "actual" in the first
comment.

Assuming that is the case, then - this is NOTABUG.

Numbers, in both Arabic and Hebrew (and most probably Farsi) are written from
left-to-write, starting with the most significant decimal digit. They are
_mostly_ read that way - with the exception that, in Arabic, the last two
digits are read in reverse order. Anyway, 502 would be written, in Arabic with
hindi digits as ٥٠٢ - both in an RTL and an LTR paragraph. Also, when writing a
fractional number, the integral part is to the left of the fractional part.

It thus makes sense for Number-Dot-Number paragraph numbering, in Arabic as
well as in English, to have the first number on the left, and the second number
on the right. Hundreds of Thousands of Arabic speakers use LibreOffice, and -
to my knowledge - have not complained about this being the order.

As for your ODT attachment #181202 - when I open it, I see Arabic, not Hindi, 
numerals in both sequences of paragraphs (i.e. 123, not ١٢٣). You should
probably choose an explicit number sequence rather than sticking to the
default.

So, please clarify and update the attachments if necessary.
