I think that
- either you need to solve some general sorting problem, then you have
to precise it, and this gives you a clue to what the function f might be
- or you just need to treat this particular numerical example (I can't
imagine why) and you may just construct an ad hoc function, for instance :
g(x):=if x=[1,4] then 1 else if x=[4,2] then 2 else if x=[2,3] then 3
else if x=[3,5] then 4 else if x=[5,1] then 5 else 0 ;
f(x,y):=g(x)<g(y);
