Hi,  
I started using prodigy today, I've got my corpus as a list of Hebrew sentences in a simple utf-8 text file, when I open the prodigy web page I see the sentence in reverse, words are correctly from right-to-left but the whole sentence is reversed.

for example the correct sentence:  
בוקר טוב מירושלים  
is shown like this:  
מירושלים טוב בוקר

Hi! That's very strange – we haven't had any reports like this and people have been annotating RTL languages without problems 🤔

Which browser are you using? Are you using `blank:he` as the tokenizer? And what happens if you set `"writing_dir": "rtl"` (or `"writing_dir": "ltr"` for comparison) explicitly in your `prodigy.json`?

"writing\_dir": "rtl" solved the issue, thanks!
