Even if your assumption that more than one diacritic in a word implied the word
was in French, there are various other points that make your suggestion flawed.

First of all, the forward or backward accent ordering doesn't even apply to all
French speakers.

Second, there are words with more than one diacritic in other languages.  I
happen to be a native speaker of one such language.

Third, you don't need more than one diacritic in a word to trigger the problem.
 Consider Cortes, CÃrtes, and CortÃs; pelo, pÃlo, pelÃ; Schlagerforderung,
SchlagerfÃrderung, SchlÃgerforderung, SchlÃgerfÃrderung.

Fourth, Unicode and CLDR are the result of a lot of work by a lot of people who
study lots of languages and local customs.  It would take a lot more than
groundless speculation to conclude they're wrong.  (Which is not to say they're
perfect in all regards, of course ;-)
