Answer 1

When displayed where (file, console, web page)?

It sounds to me like an issue with right-to-left vs. left-to-right, can you set the page orientation?

Answer 2

The answer to this depends on how you're rendering the text.

Many environments (Word, WinForms, and others) have a right-to-left mode, which is exactly what you're looking for.

In WinForms, you can set the RightToLeft property of a control to true.

Answer 3

You need to specify the technology involved in order to get a specific helpful answer.

In general, when dealing with mixed Hebrew/English, there are two components. One is the paragraph orientation, and second is the characters orientation. In Hebrew, right-to-left mode would be the typical result for a paragraph, your text would be more like this:

<Hebrew> 1

(I can't imitate it using Hebrew characters due to the editor's limitation on SO, apparently).

What you want is a left-to-right paragraph orientation, that happens to have a Hebrew item in the list. How you accomplish that (or indeed if it can be done) will depend on the technology you are using.

Answer 4

in HTML:

<tag style="direction:rtl;">hebrew text</tag>

Of course you should extract the style into an external CSS stylesheet and probably apply it to the body tag
