Not in Arabic and Hebrew, but in fact the *logical* order typically *is*
close to the pronounced order.  In fact, the keyboarded order may often be
more different (eg. if South-Asians are using an IME they can type in visual
order, but have the codes arranged logically).  That's why I say 'normally'
and 'usually'.
