ATSUI Question: Text and Numerics direction

Hi everyone,

I need your help in some ATSUI issues I am facing while trying to impose a text direction change. I am using ATSUI functions to get the contextual form of Arabic text in some textbox. I have noticed that ATSUI returns the glyph ids of Arabic numerics inverted in the exit array, since Arabic numerics are typed in the usual left to right direction unlike Arabic text.

I have put down code to change the direction of the text, testing both R2L and L2R cases. Inspite of my expectation, the exit glyph IDs and character offsets were identical no matter what the text direction specified was.

I need to know if I can make ATSUI return Arabic numerics in the same manner as Arabic characters. (i.e. without inverting)

Kindly tell me what I am missing here, and if it is possible to implement the functionality to get the Arabic text all in the same direction, regardless of numerics and special characters.
