As you note, what does not happen is that RTL runs read upwards from the bottom of the page. Instead you turn your head the other direction from Latin-in-CJK to keep reading downwards. But any LTR runs embedded in a sideways-left run will run upwards on the page. Right, but as far as I am aware, this styling is only used when there is only RTL text in the vertical text. If there's both RTL and LTR embeddings in the vertical text, I am not aware of anybody ever typesetting this with sideways-left. - Florian
