does comma operator always process from left to right ?

It's easy to check that both vanilla Lua and LuaJIT prepare values from left to right and then assign them from right to left:

local t = setmetatable({}, {__newindex =
   function(t, k, v)
      print(k)
   end
})

local function f(v)
   print(v)
end

t.a, t.b = f("c"), f("d")

Output:
c
d
b
a
