Hi Rose,
are you claiming that the order of the character you enter in a string 
appears different on output? I think the characters appear in thesame 
order you entered it.
Anyway, if you want to reverse the character order of every string in 
the output, you could use $PrePrint:

$PrePrint = (# /. x_String :> StringReverse[x]) &

If you do not like reversed strings, you can clear $PrePrint by:

$PrePrint = .

Sincerely, Daniel
