Set the dir=rtl attribute on the td element: .... The HTML attribute should be used instead of the corresponding CSS property, since the basic writing direction is not just a presentational suggestion but something that depends on the content.

... won’t work, sice the

closes the open span element, so the span element has no content and its attributes have no effect.

Added info: Also make sure that no CSS or HTML setting is overriding the desired effect. For example, align=left on the tr element would set the alignment of all cells to left alignment, and the dir=rtl attribute won’t “win” it on its own. (If there is such an attribute and you can’t remove it, set the cell alignment explicitly, using align=right in HTML.)
