I don't see how that helps with this problem. If I search for the Northern Thai word /kin/ with the low tone, which means 'smell', I want to find it whichever way round SAKOT and TONE-1 are, and I don't want to find /kin/ with the rising tone, which is implied by having no tone mark and means 'to eat'.
