The order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun

I have a question in these two sentences: 1. Tu ne me le donnes pas. 2. Tu ne la lui écris pas. What is the correct order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun? In the first sentence, it seems that the order is indirect(me) + object(le), but in the second one, it becomes object(la) + indirect(lui). Is there anything wrong here? Or both are correct, that this order doesn’t matter?

This question relates to:French lesson "Position of French object and adverbial pronouns in negative commands in the imperative mood (L'Impératif) in French"
