Hi Martin,

As far as HarfBuzz is concerned, those two are both matras and can appear in
any order I believe.  I don't have a Windows 8 machine to test.  If Windows
allows both, we like to do the same.  Can someone test please?

The basic idea is that for the sequence Consonant + U+1062 + U+1086, it should be rendered with the U+1086 diacritic over the Consonant. The sequence Consonant + U+1086 U+1062 is illegal and should probably insert a dotted circle somewhere. I recommend that the Myanmar shaper reorder the sequence U+1062 U+1086. Here is a test string:
