As they will share the same combining class 220, the canonical ordering will preserve their relative order



Although normalization preserves the order of combining marks of the same class, I think no meaning should be attached to it, for two reasons:

The collation algorithm ignores such differences in order


This isn't true of the general case. There are some cases e.g. stacking diacritics in Vietnamese and IPA, where this ordering is significant and is preserved by the collation algorithm. If you are referring to a specific case, presumably in Hebrew, please remind us which one.

The na�ve user has little control over them, especially when editing.
