Hi Eyal, About writing a simple number in Arabic or Farsi, yes, you are right; We write numbers from left to right BUT we are talking about numbered-list not integer number ;) When we are writing a multi-level numbered list, we are not talking about decimal place or integer number, instead we are talking about a series of integer numbers which show the hierarchy in a list. We want to show that which item is children of which parent. So this is not a Number to follow the mathematics rules. this is a numbered list. Please have a look at the attachment named "Wrong VS right situation" (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=181746) This problem is solved in Microsoft Word; In MS Word we can change the order of numbers. Please note that this is the exact rule which is used in English ordered list and in Farsi (and I think in Arabic too) this rule is the same. Also I agree with comment 9 (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149824#c9) by "Khaled Hosny" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
