Well, this idea is quite senseless. Vowels and points always come after
base letters, in any sensible logical ordering for typing, rendering etc
and also in Unicode. There are a few possible small exceptions e.g.
furtive patah, prepositive accents which just could make sense as dead
keys, but this doesn't make sense as a general principle.
