Just in case it is not clear why reviving the long dead TeX-XeT is a fix here; TeX-XeT does not do any actual reversal but rather outputs special opcodes in the DVI file and the DVI driver does the actual reversal, now in the driver we do not “physically” reverse the order of the nodes but instead change their X positions so that they are visually reversed. It is possible to do the X manipulation in TeX, Omega does that, but not for a mere mortal like me (and it does not help that the TeX code is complex, interwoven and written in an archaic language I only superficially understand), it was much easier to do it in the driver.
