Feb 14, 2014 at 15:10 comment added Amanda Thank you @Neil, simulated annealing is likely the best solution.
Feb 14, 2014 at 14:28 comment added Neil @Dukeling You're right, I did mean NP-hard. I don't think it is possible to verify that a solution is optimal in polynomial time. Made the proper adjustments.

Feb 14, 2014 at 14:25 comment added Bernhard Barker I believe you mean NP-complete or NP-hard. NP just means verifiable in polynomial time.
Feb 14, 2014 at 14:16 comment added Neil @AmandaGarci I expanded my answer to include simulated annealing. Please take a look. This may not offer the best solution, but this is a quick way to go about it.

Feb 14, 2014 at 14:15 comment added Amanda Thank you @Neil, I had to program some genetic algorithms fitness based at university and it isn't solution to my problem, I mean, it's solution, but I only want mess a list, not worth it! :D Brute force is not option at all, mess the list is a small part of a big process that must be fast... Maybe it isn't possible mess it the best way.
