Which reminds me that "sorted margins" methods are unlikely to be monotone
in general.

We've been using sorted margins for symmetry purposes,  but it's probably
better to sort in both directions and then use the stronger beatpath as the
finish order. At least in this example it would yield monotonicity (I'm
pretty sure).
