Numbers supports bidirectional text in cells, so within the same spreadsheet, you can have some cells with text written from left to right (such as in English or Chinese) and others with text written from right to left (such as in Arabic or Hebrew).
Note: Although you can change the direction of cell text when your computer is set up for input sources that use different text directions, you can’t reverse the direction of a table. See Use bidirectional text.
The direction of text in table cells is based on the direction of the top-left cell in a left-to-right table, or the top-right cell in a right-to-left table. If a cell is empty, its direction is based on the current keyboard (tap to change keyboards).
You can change the direction of text in a cell.
Tap the cell, tap 
, then tap 
.
When you change the direction of cell text, the cell alignment is affected as follows:
Text cells set to auto-align (the default setting) change their text alignment.
Number cells set to auto-align (the default setting) don’t change their number alignment. (Numbers always auto-align to be right-aligned.)
If a cell’s alignment is right, left, or center aligned, it retains that alignment.
If a cell’s alignment is justified, the gap for a partial line changes from being on the right to being on the left.
