JSpinner buttons on left instead of right

I have a JSpinner and want the buttons to be on the left, not the
right. Is there a setting for this or will I have build my own
JSpinner to accomplish it? Thanks

Use a mirror. [ ;-) ]

To set the orientation of your single JSpinner:
yourSpinner.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

or may be, if you want to set the orientation of your entire GUI:
yourFrame.applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

These methods are described in

I'm not sure this is what he wants. If I understand him, he wants
normal text direction (ie. right to left or left to right, depending
on locale), but with the arrow buttons on the left instead of the
right of the editor. Won't setting the ComponentOrientation to
RIGHT_TO_LEFT set the text running right to left as well (I've never
used it myself)?

As an alternative, he could probably write his own LayoutManager for
the JSpinner - the code's available, and it would only need trivial
changes to put the buttons on the right instead of the left.
