[3] -For sorting purposes, we will consider a scriptPubKey in its byte array representation, and a bitcoin amount in terms of their integer number of satoshis (smallest amount ordered first). +For the sake of efficiency, amounts should be compared first for sorting, since they contain fewer bytes of information (8 bytes) compared to a standard P2PKH scriptPubKey (25 bytes).

[4] -When the values are tied, the scriptPubKey is then considered. -In the event of a tie between scriptPubKeys, sorting is irrelevant since the outputs are exactly equivalent. +Transaction output amounts (as 64-bit unsigned integers) are to be sorted in ascending order. +In the event of two matching output amounts, the respective output scriptPubKeys (in their little-endian, byte-array form) will be compared lexicographically, in ascending order. +If the scriptPubKeys match, the outputs are considered equal. ===Examples=== |
