John,
I wasn't thinking about a,b,c so much as the headings in the results
table and the ordering of the data in the fields: country, state, name
Where I have seen Hebrew or Arabic tables the heading order
changes from LTR to RTL, and so you would want the data
returned from the query to be in the same order. Hence the
need for the columns of the query to be switched around.
