this is a pretty straightforward question, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to it on SO (if I missed it, please correct me).

Basically, my question is: Is it possible to align UICollectionView row contents from right to left instead of from left to right?

In my research I've seen answers suggesting subclassing UICollectionViewFlowLayout, but I haven't been able to find an example where one was created for right-alignment.

My goal is to have 2 collection views set up like this:

Example

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Without doing any Xtransform to the collection view, simply forced RTL:

YourCollectionView.semanticContentAttribute = UISemanticContentAttribute.forceRightToLeft
