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.

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?

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
