Hi,
There are many more patterns than VL to LV. In fact, too many to be
listed manually.
For example ML should be ordered as LM, QL should be ordered as LQ.
The order is according to the alphabet.
A more complete (reproducible) answer would have been appreciated and
note that local custom dictates that context is offered for ongoing
threads. Nabble provides a mechanism for doing so.
