Hello LingNing,

    Yes you are right. The simplest solution  will be to reorder all
Cons(0x0d15-0x0d39) + 0x0d4d +  0x0d30) to become (0x0d30 + 0x0d4d + Cons).
    But if we are more correctly speaking,  it need not to be formed for all
characters in between the range. For Glyphs like 0D23, 0D28,  0D32 etc the
reordering will produce nonsense character. But its not a problem. We can
take it as typing mistake/incorrect input.

Thanks a lot for your efforts.
