Now we are really going down the rabbit hole. There is an issue with
"spiral" directions. Let's say you start at the upper left corner, then
proceed to the right. When you hit the right edge, you are going to go
"down". But what is the orientation of the letters, i.e. should you
turn the paper 90 degrees to keep reading left to right, or should the
orientation of the letters change so you can now read top to bottom
without reorientating the paper? Both have problems.
If you say you will change the orientation of the paper, what if the
"paper" is actually a bronze plaque mounted on a monument. Kinda hard
to change its orientation. And when you get to the bottom, do you stand
on your head to read it? :-)
On the other hand, say you change the orientation of the letters. That
works for the right side - you just read it top to bottom. But now what
do you do when you get to the bottom? Do you print the letters upside
down, in which case you have the same problem as the above solution.
You could keep the letters "right side up:, but now the words are
spelled backwards. That's awkward.
So I reject the spiral solutions, and other, even more bizarre ones.
But still, eight possibilities is more than enough. :-)

Both have problems. Consider the "seal of the President" it is written clockwise around the outer margin of the seal but since it is but one line it is not spiral.

I'm sorry you took my comments so seriously. They were very much
meant tongue in cheek.
That said, let me address your comments.
If we are considering a Latin alphabet, which incidentally is a
phonetic alphabet, the only ordering that really works is
left-to-right then top-to-bottom. This follows from the shapes of
different letters: they have different heights and widths, and also
are stylized in a way to facilitate left-to-right scanning. The
idea that the aforementioned eight possibilities are all viable
doesn't hold up to serious scrutiny.
If on the other hand we are considering a word-based alphabet, such
as Chinese, things are very different. Characters typically have
similarly sized bounding boxes, and are not stylized to prefer a
particular reading direction: left-to-right, or right-to-left, or
top-to-bottom -- all are workable. But even Chinese characters have
a preferred up/down distinction, clearly favoring a top-to-bottom
orientation over a bottom-to-top orientation. I'm pretty sure I
have seen all of left-to-right, right-to-left, and top-to-bottom,
for word-based alphabets, in regular texts.
More exotic alphabets, as for example hieroglyphics or emoji or
traffic signs, may occupy different categories. And of course
squeezing all of these things into tiny pictograms on cell phones
has distorted the notion of what we consider "language". (Side
comment: some cell phones have the bad habit of spontaneously
rotating from portrait mode to landscape mode, which I find
thoroughly annoying.)
In light of the above, IMO your eight possibilities are no more
serious than the other possibilities I mentioned. It seems
disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
(My apologies for posting comments that have nothing to do with
computer architecture.)

I did assume your comments weren't serious, and I apologize if my "down
the rabbit hole" didn't make that clear. :-(

Big snip. Thank you. I found your comments interesting. My only
disagreement is that there are a fair number of instances of at least
English being written top to bottom, usually in signs organized
vertically for space reasons. But there, even if they have multiple
lines, are not "continuous" from one line to the next. I think most
people have no trouble reading them

Yes. This will be my last post on this topic. I hope you have no hard
feelings.

Another one: “boustrophedonic” -- right→left and left→right on
alternate lines.
Used for example on Easter Island/Rapa Nui. (Not that anybody knows
how to read it ...)

There is also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon , writing
"as the ox plows" (alternating left to right and right to left).
Good if you're reading a monumental instription and do not want
to walk back to the start of the next line.

(Historical note - They used several more orders, though others have
died out except for niche uses (like decorative texts). For example, a
number of ancient texts were written (or carved) with alternate lines in
alternating directions - sometimes with letters also reversed, sometimes
not).

The common shapes of the digits changed over time, both in the Arabic
world and in Europe, from the shapes developed by Indian mathematicians
from the 3rd century BC, through Arabic mathematicians in about the
600's (the Indian addition of a zero as a place value symbol lead to a
big jump in popularity), and gradually into Europe over the next few
centuries. Modern European-style digits are no more dissimilar to the
"Hindi" numerals first used in the Arab Caliphate than those used in
modern written Arabic. Standardisation was heavily influenced by the
printing press.

I would disagree entirely. Numbers have always been read and written in
a variety of ways, and this is not a direct match for word writing
order. In many current languages, "123" is read as the equivalent of
"one hundred three and twenty". "1024" may be read as "a thousand and
twenty four", while "1066" may be read as "ten sixty six", or perhaps
"one zero double six" if it is part of a phone number. For numbers in
general, you do not read left-to-right or right-to-left - you look at
the entire number, and use its value. Only then do you know that a
number starting with the digit "1" is thirteen or a million.
And once you start doing arithmetic, you do most of it in little-endian
order - except division, which will be in big-endian order.
Your theory here initially sounds like it makes sense, but it does not
stand up to closer scrutiny.
In the computing world, there is maybe a bit more clarity - certainly
the choice of big or little endian can make certain operations simpler,
while disadvantaging other operations. The same applies to the choice
of binary or decimal encoding.

I should think the answer is obvious. Left and right are fundamentally
equivalent; they may be opposites, but there's no reason to prefer one
over the other. (Star Trek reference: "Let That Be Your Last
Battlefield".)
Top, however, is clearly and obviously and intrinsically a beginning
spot for writing.
Thus, languages written from top to bottom may have successive lines
going from right to left (as in traditional Chinese) or possibly from
left to right... but never will you find a language written either
from right to left or left to right where the first line is at the
bottom of the page.

Perhaps not quite true. Since the vast majority of people are right
handed, it is easier for them to write left to right, as it means you
don't run the risk of smudging what you have already wrote as left
handers do with left to right order (think old, pre-ball point pens.).

I think if you were chiselling the letters into stone, you'd have the
chisel in your left hand and hammar in your right hand, and it would be
easier to see what you are doing if you went right to left. So the
manner of writing is also relevant.
Bottom to top (or horizontal lines, starting at the bottom rather than
the top) might also be a convenient choice for carving letters on a
monument. If the text is short enough, it will save you getting a ladder.

There is also boustrophedon (βουστροφηδόν) where alternate lines of writing are
reversed, with letters also written in reverse, mirror-style.
