Variable: bidi-display-reordering

bidi-display-reordering is a buffer-local variable defined in buffer.c.

Documentation

Non-nil means reorder bidirectional text for display in the visual order.

Setting this to nil is intended for use in debugging the display code. Don't set to nil in normal sessions, as that is not supported. See also bidi-paragraph-direction; setting that non-nil might speed up redisplay.
