While I can easily read and understand the options, we can discuss possible
improvements.

Not an improvement.

I understand it as
Text Direction: ( ) Left-to-right (o) Right-to-left
                (o) Horizontal ( ) Vertical

given Asian and CTL is enabled under tools > options > language (if Asian is
off we can hide the direction), and your locale or preference is Arabic/Hebrew.
I would not add labels, although this breaks accessibility. Sideways sounds
wrong as label, "text flow" or "text orientation"... not ideal too.
