ODF allows writing-mode to be "tb-lr" in table cells[1] and it is already
supported. One can manually crafts odt files and they format correctly. On the
page level, it's enabled by Khaled Hosny[2]. So I think it's good to add
"Vertical(Left-to-Right)" for text orientation option. We can create another
EDITING issue for this.

What regression do you mean? I speculate that import filter for doc format try
to emulate vertical (left-to-right) with character rotation. We should use
tb-lr directly. Still need further investigation on this.
