@喜狼_edny – hm. Possible, but the result is somehow unsatisfactory.
See for yourself.
We could start with some text right aligned in a table with just one single cell:
We could rotate the cell to 270° like that:
Code:
var myCell = app.selection[0].tables[0].cells[0];
myCell.rotationAngle = 270;
And now we need the text direction from right to left and all characters rotated to 180°:
Code:
var myCell = app.selection[0].tables[0].cells[0];
myCell.rotationAngle = 270;
myProperties = {
    composer : "$ID/HL Composer Optyca",
    characterDirection : CharacterDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION,
    paragraphDirection : ParagraphDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION,
    characterRotation : 180
myCell.texts[0].properties = myProperties;
Result:
Ugh! Not exactly the result we expected…
(Tested with InDesign CS5.5 on OSX 10.6.8)
It's the characterRotation that is not working as expected.
