   Hi, thanks for raising this topic!

   There is right to left support for some controls (see video and the PR you posted in). There are not currently any 'layouts' as such (flow panels, table layout panels etc). Currently layout is handled with Pos and Dim (e.g. 50% -1 or Fill(margin 1)).

   So you could manually reposition your controls and change the text direction on those that support it but it sounds like you are thinking of something more automagical?

   If you were interested in implementing layouts then I think RTL would be a nice addition to such a feature.

   Regarding DateField specifically there is this unmerged PR to increase the representation of formats #1205 and also a discussion here about the fragility of using a text field for date : #617

   A full DateTimePicker would be a great addition.

   @moohaad I think you are talking about RTL for Arabic or Hebrew languages. If so, I already though about his implementation but I need to understand better how it really work first.

   • Fixes #1785. Adds Pos.Align - Align sets of views horizontally or vertically #3415

   The above PR supports Right to Left alignment (and ordering) of Views. The Aligner class supports AlignmentModes.EndToStart for this.

   This could also be used w/in a potential TextFormatter re-write.
