Numbered lists (in Arabic at least) follow the hierarchical order not the LTR
direction of the numbers, so 1 must precede 2 (i.e. be at the right of it).
One possible solution is to surround each level number with FSI (U+2068) / PDI
(U+2069) so they becomes isolated from each other and follow the paragraph
direction.
