I have LO 5.3.2.2 at home (GNU/Linux Mint 18.1) and 5.1.6.2 at work (GNU/Linux Fedora 24). I have been doing copy-pasting of tables from Impress into Draw; then for some reason my Draw files (.odg) are sometimes/always opened by Impress. But that's not the bug I'm reporting here... the thing is, I edited this .odg file with some tables at home, then opened it here at work, and the table column order was switched RTL <-> LTR. I don't mean the direction _within_ column cells, I mean which column is placed where. In another Impress file, from which these tables came, they're the same as always (although I don't think I edited that one with the newer LO version). Sorry for this being a bit vague, I'm just reporting what I'm seeing.
Ok, figured it out: * Even copy-pasting on my work LO results in column order being switched * A change of the text direction in the default style returns the column order to the expected one. * Did not get this behavior at home (with my 5.3.2.2)

I would suggest you to update your work station from 5.1.6 to the latest version from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/. Closing as RESOLVED WORKSFORME
