 * Hi.
 * My web site is defined as RTL for right-to-left language.
    Please [see here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxKuC7VHfQexaG1maEhIM0k0UUE/view?usp=sharing)
   how the footnotes end up.
 * I need to:
    1. Right-align the “References” label.
 * 2. Re-order the columns of the references list, so that the reference number 
   is the left-most column.
 * I added the following to the custom css:
 *     ```
       /* Footnotes alignment */
       .footnote_container_prepare {
         padding-right: 20px !important;
         text-align: right !important;
         direction: rtl !important;
       }
   
       .footnote_container_prepare > p > span:first-child {
         padding-right: 20px !important;
         text-align: right !important;
         direction: rtl !important;
       }
   
       .footnote_references_container {
          text-align: left !important;
          direction: ltr !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * But it is not applied.
    What am I missing?
 * Thanks!
    Mor
