gollark: I used highly advanced coding and algorithms™ to try a bunch of algorithms to see if any of them put the list in the right order.
gollark: Maybe there could be multiple hashing algorithms in use, oh bεes.
gollark: Okay, not even weird variants of SHA2 with different lengths appear to work.
gollark: SHA3 is also not apparently in use.
gollark: I'll be 1247 annoyed if the auction uses a salted hash or something.
