Abstract
A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to order a binary tree using primary values and selected secondary values required to resolve a position in the binary tree. The remaining secondary values are in a do not care state. A new primary value is compared to the primary value at the root node of the binary tree. If necessary, a new secondary value is compared to the secondary value at the root node to determine whether the new primary value and the new secondary value or the value at the root node should be placed in a sorted list.
