Alex Mogilevsky raised an issue in a discussion awhile back: specifically,
what should the column progression direction be if the parent of the
multi-column element belongs to an orthogonal flow with a block flow
direction opposite to the multi-col element's inline direction?
E.g. suppose I have a vertical Japanese document:
¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ V
¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ V
¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ V
¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
<====
Then I insert a horizontal (LTR) multicol element
>>>-- >>>-- ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ V
----- ----- ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ V
--A-- --B-- ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ V
----- ----- ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
----- ----- ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
<====
Is column A or B first in the logical order?
