    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;
        }
    }
