ASP.NET Menu for Arabic i.e. right-to-left pages


Just to share, or for myself to remember this small piece of info.

http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/msdn/Asp2_menu.aspx

It is becoming more and more that the key to be a good programmer is the ability to come up with a good set of keywords for the problem in hand, to type into a search engine...

In this case... what did I type?
At first, I typed something like "ASP.NET Menu right to left", whcih did not give me any useful pages.
Then tried (already started thinking of moving to CSS adapter. No, do not want to do that. Would be quite a work...)
"ASP.NET Menu Arabic". Then, Voila! I found the above.

For those who speak Arabic, it must be a well-known trick. But for us...

Ye...the arrow is still on the right side side of the text.
How can we move it to the left side?
