DiracSimplify[expr] simplifies products of Dirac matrices in expr and expands non-commutative products. Double Lorentz indices and four vectors are contracted. The Dirac equation is applied. All DiracMatrix[5], DiracMatrix[6] and DiracMatrix[7] are moved to the right. The order of the other Dirac matrices is not changed.
