Yes. It is script specific. But a routine can be written so
that it looks like script independent. It should be table
driven and the modules should be arranged in proper way.
See the reordering algorithm available on Microsoft's
website. My experience says that there are some flaws in
the algorithm. It doesn't cover some exceptional cases.
I'll update on it when proper time comes.
