no - afaik ordering is correct in Kannada and devnagiri. There was a
goof up only in Tamil as the governement representative to the
relevant conference had not done his homework. This is subject to
correction.
That, or one representative decided that all Indian languages are same
and can have the same ordering. The latter is more likely.
The Tamil unicode encoding table is a pain to see. Anyone with
elementary knowledge of Tamil will reject it outright.

1. See the blanks after ? ? ? ? ?. For other Indian languages 3 more
slots were allocated, so tamil gets the blanks.
2. ? comes after ? before ?. as in Hindi. In tamil ? is the last letter.
An expert can go on with more points.
There are 57 blanks in the range. One can only wonder at the wisdom of
great unifers :-(
