usually the order is start from basic note, then 3th note, 5th, 7th .... , like 1357, if the basic note is 5th. we write 5,13 would display wrong.

it should reverser writing ...7th, 5th, 3th and last, the basic note as 315,

You need to write ,513 for that.

The comma applies to the figure after it, unless it's at the end in which case it applies to the figure before it.

So 5,13 means you want 5 and ,1 and 3 which jianpu-ly then sorts into pitch order to get ,1 and 3 and 5. But what you actually want is ,5 and 1 and 3 so you can write ,513 (or ,531 or 1,53 or 13,5 or 135, or 31,5 or 315, or 3,51—all these are equivalent because jianpu-ly doesn't mind which order you write the notes of the chord; some people prefer to write them top down).

We can't change jianpu-ly behaviour here without breaking people's existing input (there might be input out there that needs the current behaviour). Maybe we can add a warning that you might have made a mistake, but it could be tricky to figure out exactly what should trigger the warning.

Thanks, I got the big-head rule as I had guessed before. little-head reading and big-head writing
