Please describe the problem:
When activating the compose key, e.g. to the windows keys, the functionality regarding the input order has decreased compared to earlier version of GNOME.

The input order used to be irrelevant for creating characters with diacritics like é (small e with acute accent). It was possible to do compose->'->e or compose->e->' and both would result in the same.

Now, only compose->'->e is working. The import order is much wider used because it is also used like this in our natural language. People talk and think about an 'e' with a certain accent, it should be possible to enter it like that and it is much brain friendlier.

I don't know that the reason is for allowing only one input order sequence, perhaps to double the possible compositions that can be made.

For adding diacritics (and preferably for all compositions) I would like to request that the compose key functions regardless the input order or at least turn it around for the diacritics.

Improving compose key like this allows for higher user satisfaction when entering characters with diacritics in an easier way.

If this functionality is part of another component inside or outside GNOME, please let me know and I will report it there.
