Exclude rotations?

If we have S < T, T < U and yet S > U then it follows we
also have T < U, U < S and yet T > S
as well as U < S, S < T and yet U > T - and that will be every single time, for every set, without fail.
Should we not just keep the one that starts numerically smallest? --Pete Lomax (talk) 23:27, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

As an aside, is it always the case that there is only one solution? Or is that just a coincidence? It would be nice to stop searching permutations early. --Chunes (talk) 00:59, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
