You can set user preferences for base text direction
in the Designer through the Styling Customizer in Style Editing Mode.
(The Styling Customizer provides the easiest way to set base text
direction, but it can also be set by the baseTextDirection property in Styling Properties.)
You can also set base text direction preferences in the
Map Builder, in the Dashboard Editor, and in the Symbol Editor.
Base text direction can be set interactively according
to your preference through Base Text Direction.
You can choose one of the following settings:
Left to right
Right to left
Component Orientation
Inherited
Contextual
Base text direction and the implications of left to right,
right to left, component orientation, contextual, and inherited values
for directional runs are documented in
Base text direction: supported values.
The default value Inherited means that the base text direction of the current object is inherited
from its parent or container.
