Abstract
Apparatus and methods are operable to receive a first and second version of an ordered list having a first and second plurality of ordered entries, wherein each of the plurality of ordered entries has a corresponding order index. Further, the apparatus and methods are operable to compare respective ordered entries from the first and second versions of the ordered list at a respective order index. Also, the apparatus and methods are operable to assign a penalty to each possible current list resulting from reconciling the first version and the second version of the ordered list when the comparing identifies a difference between respective ordered entries at the respective order index. Moreover, the apparatus and methods are operable to generate, based on the comparing, at least a portion of all possible current lists, and select and store one of the possible current lists as the current list based on the penalties.
