Abstract
Ordered list management is described. An item's position within an ordered list is represented by a path value. A globally unique identifier (GUID) is appended to the path value to enable simultaneous or near-simultaneous modifications to the ordered list without conflict. Furthermore, an ordered list-specific seed value may be prepended to each item's path value to ensure clustering of ordered list items when two or more ordered lists are merged.
