README
A simple PHP implementation of xissy/lexorank
LexoRank is a ranking system introduced by Atlassian JIRA.
Background
What is the best representation of an ordered list in a database? With a dumb order number based ranking system, re-ordering a row of a list may require updating all rows of the list in a transaction, which is O(n).

- https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/195308/storing-a-re-orderable-list-in-a-database
LexoRank makes it O(1). All you need to do is updating the re-ordered row's order field.
