Thanks, Hans! I see that the direction=reverse option works well in natural tables in the latest beta. I will play with it some more and report back if any errors are there. Documented here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Input_and_compilation/Languages/Right-to-left... Can you add the same support to tabulate which are a little less verbose?

Hello,
Are natural tables still the recommended table mechanism in ConTeXt? How can I get the order of cells in each row reversed (going from right to left)?
It depends on your use but I tend to use either tabulate or extreme tables but whether you use extreme tables or natural tables is in many cases just a personal preference.

I expect the second table to completely mirror the first one. Though the cell contents (as well as the caption) are reversed, the order of cells in the row are the same as in the first table.
For columns, we have a /direction/ key, but I couldn't find anything like that for natural tables.
The column order is fixed on purpose and to change it Hans has to add an option for this, e.g. direction=reverse which isn't supported by any table type except the oldest \starttable environment.
