Hello, Moj, 

Right-to-left mode is used for certain languages such as Arabic, where people read and write starting from the right side of the page. So having the minus sign appear to the right in the RadGridView is natural. 

However, you want to set the alignment of the text from left to right in GridViewDecimalColumn with negative numbers. In this case, you can subscribe to the CellFormatting event and set RightToLeft property to false. Please refer to the following code snippet which demonstrates how to achieve the illustrated result:

private void RadGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Column.Name == "NumberColumn")
    {
        e.CellElement.RightToLeft = false;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(RadElement.RightToLeftProperty);
    }
}



I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact us.

Regards,
Nadya

Hello
Very thanks for reply

This way is correct.
In Right-to-left  languages such as Arabic position  minus in left of number

Can solved problem without change RightToLeft column property ?

Hello Moj,

You can also use a custom numeric format string which allows to format numeric data in a custom way:
decimalColumn.FormatString = "{0:#,0;#,0-}";

Additional information about custom numeric format strings is available in the following article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-numeric-format-strings

Let me know how this works for you.
