Changing Top Menu to Read LTR

Hi my top menu reads RTL [home is on right] and I would prefer this to be LTR. I could not find exact solution on forum search so posting question. Is there a setting in template to change this or must we hack the template_css.php file? I found this:

.user3 {
text-align:left;
width:<?php echo $headerModulesWidth; ?>px;
height:32px;
}

Do I need to modify this?

I am happy with position and right alignment of Menu, I just want first menu item [home] to show in far left position, not far right. I guess I could re-order my menu items in menu manager, but think it better to modify template.

What do you suggest? Thanks

you can change that by:

#nav > li{
float:left;
}


left/right for float changes direction

Thanks Ivan, but where does this code go? Template_css.css or Template_css.php? In the first I found:

#nav li {
float:right;
position:relative;
margin:0 0 0 20px;
padding:1px;
}

I changed "right" to "left" and saved file, but no change on front end.
And I could not find similar code in Template_css.php. I must be missing something here...

Thanks

If you want to keep right alignment of the menu, there must be float:right, and the Home item must be the last in the list (in Joomla Menu Manager).

Hi Milos, ok I will do this, but for my education, what exactly does "float" code do? Am I correct to say that "right" shifts position of module items to far right side of module, while "left" should shift items to far left of module [like most standard top menus]. I guess I didn't see a change when I switched this code, because I have pretty much filled up the module already with 6 menu items.

So "float" command is not what has Flipped this menu over [mirror image]... and you are saying that there is no easy code way to do undo this? Thanks again for your help and sorry for my ignorance with this.

float means:
1. do not stretch element more than nessery (width)
2. stick it to left/right with other floating elements
3. floating element can not stretch it's parent in height, it doesn't reserve space
