I hope I could do something but I am not a programmer. Deeply sorry!

Again I am not a programmer but Excel does the job like this and I was used to 
it and this is why I make it a standard. Maybe it's a bug and QApplication:: 
reverseLayout() should include the layout of the sheet. May be you are right 
and the way you want to do it is better than MS's implementation. I will cc 
this mail to the arabeyes.org mailing list to see what they say.


Arabeyes.org people! Take a look at this bug:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46831
Give opinion and vote. May be I am wrong so please let us know what you think 
is the right way.
