To make it clearer that this is just about the order of the displayed 
text, i changed the sentence you mentioned to "The underlying order of 
the digits...".  The difference is actually produced in this case by the 
addition of an LRM to the Persian, and not by the language setting. If 
you click on the image you'll see the characters that make up each example.
