RTL mixed writing changes alignment of sentence

[rezzap]

Expected

I expected that when typing an English word in the middle of a sentence using RTL language like Arabic, the content would respect the RTL order of sentence. When switching from English back to RTL

Observed

When switching from English back to RTL in the middle of the sentence, the next word is in the wrong order.

Reproduced

1. Go to Simplenote in the web app and start typing in a sentence with a mix of English and Arabic (Any RTL language).
2. I used come copy-pasted content to try and reproduce the issue.
3. Notice instead of keeping the order 1,2,3,4,5 it goes in the order 1,2,3,5,4 (#3 being the English word)

There is also some issues with where the cursor lands between each word but that's reported here: https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/issues/2363

User has provided a screen recording of how this should work using 'Libre Office'.

Here's how it shows up in Simplenote:

Thanks a lot for making this issue! Yes this is an irritating bug. I see this both on my Windows 10 and on my Android devices. This can also be observed when creating a bullet list, or a checklist, the symbols go to the left of the lines, even though the line has begun with an RTL character. I hope the dev will fix it.

But now, the app considers everything left-to-right. As a result, all the periods, commas and other punctuations appear on the wrong side.

Simplenote version 2.9.0, they're experiencing the issue on Windows 10 and Windows 8.

Also I noticed that simplenote can't correctly display texts that are a mixture of Perisan and English words.
