OpenOffice.org 1.9.x you can insert the page number field as Arabic letters
rather than as numbers. This is great, but it uses the wrong alphabet order.
When you use Arabic numbers in the same way that in English we use Roman
numerals (such as to number items in a list), you don't use the regular
alphabetic order:

   alif baa' taa' thaa' jiim...

Rather, you use the "abjad hawwaz" order:

   alif baa' jiim daal haa'...

I posted a query on Arabeyes.org about this issue, and the one response i got
concurred with me. The responder provided the entire "abgad hawwaz" mnemonic:

   abjad hawwaz HuTTi kalaman sa'faS qarashat thakhadh DaZagh

OOo is currently using the regular alphabetic order. It should be changed to use
the "abjad hawwaz" order.
