By default, the RightToLeft property is False. The RightToLeft gets or sets a value indicating whether control's elements are aligned to right or left. The RightTolLeft property affects all columns, and future columns being added. 

Changing the RightToLeft property on True does the following:

• displays the vertical scroll bar on the left side of the control ( Scrollbars property )
• flips the order of the columns ( Position property )
• change the column's alignment to right, if the column is not centered ( Alignment property, HeaderAlignment property, HeaderImageAlignment property )
• reverse the order of the drawing parts in the cells ( Def(exCellDrawPartsOrder) property to "caption,picture,icons,icon,check" )
• aligns the locked columns to the right ( CountLockedColumns property )
• aligns the control's group-by bar / sort bar to the right ( SortBarVisible property )
• the control's filter bar/prompt/close is aligned to the right ( FilterBarPromptVisible property )

The following screen shot shows how the control looks if the RightToLeft property is True:
