RTL-related bug in \startcolumns

RTL-related bug in \startcolumns

Hello,

In RTL text, I use direction=left to mirror the columns.  I just noticed
that surprisingly section numbering will not be correct.  See the MWE
below, where I get "2 First" at the top of the right column and then "1
Second" in the middle of the left column.  The correct numbering should be
"1 First" and "2 Second."

\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2,direction=left]
\section{First}
\input knuth

\section{Second}
\input ward
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

Produced using context version 2016.04.27 10:18.

Thanks!

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
