I don't mind to produce it in logical order, but is there a reason to
do so?

As a matter of fact, I don't see too much uses for it, except for
testing and "educational" purposes.  The only other use-case I can
think of is encoding text into a visual-order encoding.  But I need to
implement reordering of display strings, so I thought it would be nice
to have a Lisp binding for that.

Thanks for the comments.
