Please add RTL\LTR switch buttons to the sidebar. RTL users often need to switch between RTL\LTR, and if they want to use the sidebar, they also have to keep the Formatting toolbar on-screen just for those two buttons.
Looks a valid enhancement request to me.

@abdulmajeed ahmed: Thank you for your work, but RTL\LTR setting applies to a whole paragraph, so it should go to the Paragraph panel instead!

Created attachment 87556 [details] Patch for Calc Alignment panel @abdulmajeed ahmed: Sorry for spamming you again, but we should also add this functionality to Calc's Alignment panel (sc/uiconfig/scalc/ui/sidebaralignment.ui). I attached a patch which does the job. It's just copy-paste from your commit, so you can commit it as your own work.
