Comment (by apedog):

 When handling RTL URL's - mixed RTL/LTR URLs need be considered.
 The domain (as well as scheme/protocol) is LTR, while some of the slugs
 can be RTL. So URL **strings** must be LTR for readability. However the
 URL **cells** alignment can be RTL.

 I have a ''personal'' preference for the cells being LTR (as per sitemaps-
 rtl.png above - having the http://example.com align helps readability).
 But RTL is also common (as per wp-ms-sites-list-table-rtl.png), and I
 believe this is the current standard for most RLT interfaces (gmail,
 browsers, etc.). ie. even if a column's strings are LTR, the cells and
 column will be aligned RTL.

 As for that column header's direction - I think consistency with the rest
 of the headers (RTL) is the way to go, even if the column cells end up
 aligned to the left. Especially if the latin-charactered "URL" header will
 get translated to an actual word. Having an RTL word aligned to the left
 is weird.
