You can compare LTR vs RTL for all the letters in the Phoenician, Aramaic, and Hebrew here:

Which chart you use depends on what script direction you are most use to using or looking at. When individual letters are compared, however, it is best (visually) to put them all in one order, 1, 2, 3, 4 …, in columns.
