Text is getting reversed

New Here ,
Dec 12, 2024 Dec 12, 2024

I am trying to use an expression to set a text layer to the name of the comp,  but the text is somehow getting reversed.    I am using this expression for the source text :  thisComp.name  - but when it appears in the comp,  some of the characters are swapped around.   See attatched where the yellow text is the dynamic live text generated from the white comp name below. But notice how the yellow text has swapped the "010" and "0500".  Maddening....

In the Character panel, you have Hindi Digits (at the bottom) turned on. Turn that off and the text will match the comp name.

That's very puzzling. Can you post a larger screen shot that shows the timeline (with the expression exposed), the comp window, and the project panel?
