Hieroglyphs and the hieratic signs that derived from them were most often written from right to left, but could also be written left to right or vertically downwards. The signs are always neatly grouped into invisible rectangles to make the writing neat and tidy and the signs always face the start of the line.

So if the text is written right to left, the signs always face the right; if the text is left to right, the signs all face left.
