Rendering question about both superscripts and subscripts to the same base letter

Dear Brett,

In the preferences I have both the preprocessor and the processor set to
/usr/local/bin/pandoc -f markdown_mmd

MathJax is ticked and TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML is chosen.

When I write in MMDComposer5 the line

$$A^{kk,ed}_{jjj,qq}$$

this is rendered in Marked 2.6.44
not as I would like, that is, both superscripts and subscripts starting from the anchor (in the case above, letter A), but first the. subscripts and only then the superscripts. (see attached file).

What I do wrong?

Thank you,
Adrian

   additinonal question:
   Why are
   $$A^{kk_{ed}}$$ and
   $$A_{{jjj}^{qq}}$$ rendered as expected (see attached file)

   but not
   $$A^{{kk_{ed}}{{jjj}^{qq}}$$ which is not rendered at all, but merely copied?
   $$A^{{kk{ed}}_{{jjj}^{qq}}$$

   Thank you,
   Adrian

   I should say that tilda
   ~ does not work on my MacBookPro macOS 11.6.3 at all as expected (producing subscripts).

   Thank you for your help.

   I don't know MathJax syntax well enough to be able to answer this question, but it appears to me that the syntax renders the same in MultiMarkdown Composer as it does in Marked, which indicates this is not a Marked issue, but rather an issue in the syntax.
