that makes sense. Since if the list is not ordered, we are obviously
failing here to pick the right id. So it is important that we keep our
list ordered.

Can you print out the order of the list when this happens. Something is
fishy here. And I bet it is broken for a while now. Just that nobody has
really noticed yet.

If we have to run through that list twice, then we are doing something
wrong. Also having to run through the whole list seems pointless. We
just need to make sure that the list stays ordered.
