I think this is a too strong assumption. I wouldn't be surprised to
find, for example, both 1M and 1500K in a data set.
Are there problems to normalize values using this pseudo-code?
while (abs (a) > 1000) //or 1024
{
order_a += signum (a);
a /= 1000; //or 1024
}
do the same with b and only after compare them.

Giuseppe
