Interestingly, Not only built-in Table&Form or Dashboard page, Custom pages which is based on canvas apps also flip the orientation with RTL language.

For canvas app makers so far, it has been hard task to support both LTR and RTL languages due to app studio does not support to simulate RTL orientation.

On latest Power Apps studio for custom pages with version v3.21114.18.206909464, New preview feature is available - "Enable RTL testing in preview".
