Comment (by Mataniko):

 Jumping in on this as I'm one of the Hebrew speaking devs that was part of
 the original conversation.

 Let me start by prefacing with a few things:
 * There's no good way to mix RTL with LTR - it will always be a compromise
 * I'm not a fan of mirrored/Hebrew UIs

 With that in mind, we decided to go with what most of our users are
 familiar with when navigating through a list: Windows Explorer.

 It's especially awkward if you've used ScummVM for years in English, and
 the switch to Hebrew changes the entire layout. But for other users, and
 new users - this is actually the expectation they have from using their
 OS.

 I don't think making a change would be beneficial, as it comes to user
 preference. The alternative would allowing users to toggle RTL mirroring
 on/off as a feature request.
