Direction property

The Direction property enables you to specify the reading order for the entire report. The value of Direction serves as the default for layout objects in the report (for example, fields, boilerplate, and so on). It also controls the orientation of the Report Editor. This means you do not have to move objects manually to simulate a right to left orientation in the Report Editor.
