    I think the original one i.e., `input(j)._1 > input(j + 1)._1` is correct. 
Here it is going to select out-of-order blocks.
    
    Quoted from the paper:
    > We refer to two blocks [p, q] and [q + 1, r] as consecutive. We refer to 
two consecutive blocks [p, q] and [q +1, r] as in-order if  theta_pq <= 
theta_q+1, r and out-of-order otherwise.
    
    LEMMA 1 is pointing the how a merged block is also a single-valued block.
