Programming: Ligatures fighting Small Caps

In my OT output I have my ligatures working nicely and my small caps going as well, but when I select text with a ligature in it (in InDesign or Illustrator for example) and change it to small caps, the ligature stays in lower case (there is no small caps equivalent) - it won't clear out to be just small caps. I can correct this by turning off the ligatures function, but other fonts I've compared to don't do this and I'm not sure how to tell mine not to as well.

Thanks,

Michael

It's all about the sequence of your code. You have to put your smallcap look ups before your ligature look ups.

So easy... So not obvious 'til now.

Thanks.
