I believe the difference is simply that the two sequences are in reverse order of each other.

Not only this but the reverse of ال is لا because Arabic letters change based on position of the letter (initial, medial, final). So ل ا is never going to be a word since you lack joining, since the ل will look like لـ if joined and لا is a distinct ligature
Who can’t tell these two character sequences from each other? Genuine question.
I think the main point the author is making is, if you are including Arabic script somewhere, take a bit of time to either do it right or hire someone to do it right for you.
