Kevin,
Thank you for your report.

The reason behind this is that the Arabic scripts are rendered from right to left. Hence the results are also shown in right to left format.

I am not sure whether it actually needs to be rendered left to right or right to left.

Thank you. :)

Hm, this is a funny bug.

The currencies should not switch positions just because one is written in another script. We may need to insert LTR order marks to fix this, but also make sure that doesn't cause the equivalent bug when running in a RTL locale....
