--- Comment #3 from Zebediah Figura <z.figura12 at gmail.com> ---
As the errors show, DTM_SETFORMAT reverses the order of the tokens passed in. I
did some experimenting and found that it only happens with v6. However, I
couldn't easily figure out what's special about Arabic specifically. It's not
just a matter of RTL script, because it doesn't happen with Hebrew. Maybe it's
just hard-coded to Arabic in native comctl32?

I also am not familiar enough with date conventions to understand why date
strings would be reversed in Arabic text (or Egyptian specifically) but not
Hebrew.
