In the for-loop condition of original code, the expression

  *CurrentCommand != CHAR_NULL 

is put before expression

  CurrentCommand < SortedCommandList + SortedCommandListSize/sizeof(CHAR16)

When CurrentCommand walks to the end of string buffer, one more character
over the end of string buffer will be read and then stop.

To fix this issue, just move the last expression to the first one. Because
of short-circuit evaludation of and-expression, the following one

  *CurrentCommand != CHAR_NULL

will not be evaluated if the expression before it is evaludated as FALSE.
