Hello Hans,

This bug exists in the latest beta, version 2016.05.12 23:49.  Am I doing
something wrong or is something really strange going on?  I see the
following among the logs, which seems correct to me.

structure > sectioning > section @ level 3 : 0.0.1 -> First
structure > sectioning > section @ level 3 : 0.0.2 -> Second

I am surprised that the numbering is reverse; could this be due to the
direction=left option?  Then, what is the right option to use for
right-to-left columns?

Thanks,
~MHB
