# DO - Display Order of Output Data

This Natural profile and session parameter specifies how fields are to be interpreted for display on terminals that support bidirectional data.

Possible settings | `L` | Specifies that the data from the application is in logical display order. Note The field characters are displayed according to their character property (left-to-right or right-to-left).
`V` | Specifies that the data from the application is in visual order. Notes: All fields are inverted by Natural before they are sent to the terminal. This option is required for old applications written for terminals which support inverse (right-to-left) print mode, activated by profile parameter `PM=I` or terminal command `%VON`.
Default setting | `L` |
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | yes | Applicable statement: | `SET GLOBALS`
Applicable command: | `GLOBALS`

Notes:

1. The I/O device must be able to create the correct display order depending on the character properties. This is for instance the case if an application runs in a browser under Natural Web I/O Interface. For other terminal types, this parameter does not have any effect.
2. For detailed information on how to use the setting `PM=I`, see Bidirectional Language Support in the Unicode and Code Page Support documentation.
