Number Order Reversed in InDesign

I am trying to type out "Construct a dedicated application enclosure, roughly 18-20 feet " and when I type it into Indesign it keeps changing the order of the numbers automatically to "roughly 20-18  feet wide", even when I copy and paste text. It's doing this throughout the document. How can I change this?

It has probably something to do with your language settings. Did you recently change your language settings and in what language to you use InDesign? (maybe English/Arabic?)

I am currently using English, I'm correcting a file from a colleague who might have set it up this way. He had English settings as well. I've noticed that the same thing is happening with the % symbol. When I type 100%, it types %100.

Can you check what the language menu in the character panel shows when you highlight the text with the wrong formatting?
