# nonMonotonic

The run isn’t in strictly increasing or decreasing order.

```
static var nonMonotonic: CTRunStatus { get }
```

## Discussion

The run is reordered so that the string indices associated with the glyphs aren’t in strictly increasing (for left-to-right runs) or decreasing (for right-to-left runs) order.
