6 years ago Thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately I don't really know about the transliteration Biber stuff and @plk is a bit snowed under at the moment, so I can't promise a quick fix.
As far as I know Biber uses an external library to do the transliteration (Lingua::Translit), so this could be either a bug in the external library or a bug in how Biber handles the returned results for sorting.
I don't suppose you could check that the Lingua::Translit library returns the expected values?

Even if you don't read Devanāgarī you can recognise the bar above the "ra", and the dot above the "n", to which, for some reason the virāma is added, and then at the end the independent vowel a. It should actually be
.
(Already noted here)
IAST-transliterated Sanskrit does not sort correctly any more, it appears as if somewhere diacritics are stripped off or something else happens with them, a and ā, m and ṃ, h and ḥ, ś, ṣ and s, t and ṭ are messed up in the example, I would assume it happens to all diacritical combinations.
