An option to switch sheet direction from right to left

Free office 2021 had this option in sheet properties but not in 2024. Also I would love to see an option to render numbers in eastern arabic numerals
٠, ١, ٢, ٣, ٤, ٥, ٦, ٧, ٨, ٩.

Please click on ribbon command File | Options | General tab | Check the option “Extended support for Arabic text” and after that you will get this option in Worksheet properties.

Thanks a lot. But how about rendering numbers in eastern arabic numerals. Why don't add an option in the future for that, say under language tab ?

When the user switches sheet direction to right-to-left, the direction of the horizontal scroll should change as well , it does not and the result is weird reverse scrolling .

What do you mean by horizontal scroll direction? If you are talking about worksheet horizontal scrollbar, input direction in cell has no relation to worksheet scrolling direction. Can you provide example how do you see this feature or how should it work?

The issue I am reporting is very important for right to left support. This is the right direction for the horizontal scroll bar :

Libreoffice does not have this problem
