--- Comment #3 from Hossein <[email protected]> ---
I confirm that at least some universities provide the thesis templates that
require such a numbering.

It is worth noting that the separator here is ., which is not common. It has
two problems:
1. It may change to / according to the fa_IR locale.
2. The usual separator in Persian language is dash (-).

> In RTL languages, the standard for numbering is Right to Left.
It is not standard, or universal. That is why I think this feature request
should be implemented as an option in which the users can choose if they want
to create the numbers as left to right (as before), or right to left.

On the other hand, it both cases the rendering should be compatible with MS
Word. It seems that this is the real issue here. As an example, see the table
of contents for this document:

TOC on page 11:
https://zand.ac.ir/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%85%D8%AA-%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8-%D9%BE%D8%B1%D9%88%DA%98%D9%87-%D9%BE%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C-%D9%88-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B4%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B3%DB%8C.docx
 

Note that in Word it is -1-1-2 comes after -2-1-1, but in LibreOffice it is
vice versa.

It is a manual table of contents, but the problem is visible.

@M.Mahdi:
Can you provide an example, in which in MS Word the rendering is as you want,
but the same file renders incorrectly in LibreOffice Writer?
