Hi,
I have the following HTML code for creating dropdown list items in the navbar section. I want to use the RTL direction, but all items are aligned with LTR.

<li mdbDropdown class="nav-item dropdown">
                        <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" role="button"
                            mdbDropdownToggle aria-expanded="false">
                            option
                        </a>
                        <ul mdbDropdownMenu class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
                            <li>
                                <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Item1</a>
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Item2</a>
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Item3</a>
                            </li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>

Update:I'm using MDB for Angular 13.

What I have tried:

I tried to make some changes in my custom CSS file:

.dropdown-menu, .dropdown-item { 
    left: 0 !important; 
    right: auto !important;
}

Your markup looks wrong. Here is the documentation on how to do dropdown lists: Bootstrap Dropdowns - examples & tutorial[^]

As for RTL, thier documentation explains how to implement here: MDB 5 RTL[^]

Accourding to the link above, this should work:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ar" dir="rtl">
    <head>
        <!-- header stuff goes here... -->
    </head>
    <body>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
        </ul>
    </body>
</htmp>

NOTE: Don't forget to follow the documentation and add the RTL language on the Html tag.

The above code is not for the navbar, but the same still applies. Here is the documentation: Bootstrap Navbar - examples & tutorial[^]
