The two "long" suits follow natural order and the two "short" suits follow reversed order, which was transferred to french suits by making the short suits red. From the Wikipedia page on Ganjifa cards.

Les ganjifas, ces cartes à jouer rondes indiennes originaires de Perse. Ganj = trésor.

Indian Ganjifa cards are basically the only time we see round cards until Dobble. They're gorgeous, & also round cards have no corners & thus are less liable to dog-earring. In the 19th C, the British Empire's card makers' steam-powered factories drove many Indian Ganjifa makers out of business.

Before Magic the Gathering became a thing, the prettiest card game in the world was the Persian/Indian game of Ganjifa. With hand-painted, exclusive, round (!!), ridicilously asthetically pleasing cards
