The best way would be to use hypothetical "flow" attribute.

The flow controls visual order of contained block elements and
having values : top-to-bottom(default), bottom-to-top, left-to-right,
right-to-left

So
 ---------------------
 | (1) Header        |
 ---------------------
 | (2) Content | (3) |
 |             |  S  |
 |             |  i  |
 |             |  d  |
 |             |  e  |
 |             |  b  |
 |             |  a  |
 |             |  r  |
 ---------------------

whould be just

<div id="header">
<div id="body" style="flow:right-to-left">
   <div id="sidebar">
   <div id="content">
</div>
</div>
