Yes, it's correct behavior. localizedCompare: compares logically,
not visually.
If you did a diacritic-insensitive compare, they would compare
equal, because MAI EK is primary ignorable.
But then: why does localizedCompare: think "KO KHAI, SARA II, MAI EK"
= "KO KHAI, MAI EK, SARA II" ?
Or does it follow some rule like: "The order of consecutive
Nonspacing_Marks does not matter" ?
Kind regards

This is the logical order of the Thai word for "low":
THAI CHARACTER TO TAO, THAI CHARACTER MAI EK, THAI CHARACTER SARA AM
and this is the order usually used in writing (bottom to top):
THAI CHARACTER TO TAO, THAI CHARACTER SARA AM, THAI CHARACTER MAI EK.
Both strings look (at least in 10.5.6) identical - with the MAI EK
correctly on top of SARA AM.
But localizedCompare: thinks that they are not (i.e. does not
return NSOrderedSame).
Is this correct?
