Arabic numerals are actually just as right-to-left as the script: the
Arabic language says six-and-twenty (as do Dutch and German), so it is
in the correct: 26.

The digit "2" is written first - so the numbers are left-to-right,
not right-to-left as the letters. When you write 2006 in Arabic-Indic
digits, you start with "2" and finish with "6".
