Hi 

I tried to analyze the unzipped odt files, either generated by the
exporter or by OO. It seems to me that odt, does not support that within
*one* table, one can have one row R2L and the other L2L, but I am
not sure. If this were the case, maybe OO inserts  one row visual not
logical?



So the following simple function[1] does reverse one row of a table in
org-mode and then the export function works as expected.

hten (defun my-org-table-reverse-cells-in-row ()
  "Simple function to reverse cells in one row. This might be useful in tables with R2L and L2R text."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
	(newline 1)
	(end-of-line 1)
	(newline 1)
	(goto-char (org-table-begin))
	(org-table-transpose-table-at-point)
	(let*	  ((beg (org-table-begin))
			   (end (org-table-end)))
	  (goto-char beg)
	  (reverse-region beg end))
	(org-table-transpose-table-at-point)
	(kill-line nil)
	(goto-char (org-table-begin))
	(previous-line 1)
	(kill-line nil)))
