  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

I've got a "smart" solution and a really dumb one. I'll start with the smart one (incomplete but you can infer). I did four different ways to try to get it faster, less memory, etc.

// this is from a nuget package. My Mathy roommate told me this was a topological sort.
// It's also my preferred, since it'd perform better on larger data sets.
return lines
    .AsParallel()
    .Where(line => !IsInOrder(GetSoonestOccurrences(line), aggregateRules))
    .Sum(line => line.StableOrderTopologicallyBy(
            getDependencies: page =>
                aggregateRules.TryGetValue(page, out var mustPreceed) ? mustPreceed.Intersect(line) : Enumerable.Empty<Page>())
        .Middle()
    );

The dumb solution. These comparisons aren't fully transitive. I can't believe it works.

public static SortedSet<Page> Sort3(Page[] line,
    Dictionary<Page, System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<Page>> rules)
{
    // how the hell is this working?
    var sorted = new SortedSet<Page>(new Sort3Comparer(rules));
    foreach (var page in line)
        sorted.Add(page);
    return sorted;
}

public static Page[] OrderBy(Page[] line, Dictionary<Page, System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<Page>> rules)
{
    return line.OrderBy(identity, new Sort3Comparer(rules)).ToArray();
}

sealed class Sort3Comparer : IComparer<Page>
{
    private readonly Dictionary<Page, System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<Page>> _rules;

    public Sort3Comparer(Dictionary<Page, System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<Page>> rules) => _rules = rules;

    public int Compare(Page x, Page y)
    {
        if (_rules.TryGetValue(x, out var xrules))
        {
            if (xrules.Contains(y))
                return -1;
        }

        if (_rules.TryGetValue(y, out var yrules))
        {
            if (yrules.Contains(x))
                return 1;
        }

        return 0;
    }
}
