===Transaction Outputs===
A transaction output is defined by its scriptPubKey and amount. [3]
For sorting purposes, we will consider a scriptPubKey in its byte array representation, and a bitcoin amount in terms of their integer number of satoshis (smallest amount ordered first).
For the sake of efficiency, amounts should be compared first for sorting, since they contain fewer bytes of information (8 bytes) compared to a standard P2PKH scriptPubKey (25 bytes). [4]

When the values are tied, the scriptPubKey is then considered.
In the event of a tie between scriptPubKeys, sorting is irrelevant since the outputs are exactly equivalent.
Transaction output amounts (as 64-bit unsigned integers) are to be sorted in ascending order.
In the event of two matching output amounts, the respective output scriptPubKeys (in their little-endian, byte-array form) will be compared lexicographically, in ascending order.
If the scriptPubKeys match, the outputs are considered equal.
