Description Djihed Afifi 2008-01-02 00:10:01 UTC 
When using an LTR language (English), we get this order from left to right:

Icon - Name - Ext - Size - Data ...etc


When using an RTL language, e.g Arabic, the same order should be from right to left. Currently the order stays as is. Which is wrong.

I toyed around with gnome-cmd-file-list.cc, the array file_list_column can be reversed to reverse *only* the titles of the columns, this can be created as file_list_column_rtl, I but don't  know:

1) where to plug the RTL test: 
if(gtk_widget_get_default_direction() == GTK_TEXT_DIR_RTL)

2) where to reverse the order of the rows.

(to try an rtl language:
LC_ALL=ar_DZ.UTF8 gnome-commander 
after installing locales)
