This is reminiscent of an interesting logical paradox.

Suppose that you were to list all the people in the world, in order from
most to least interesting. Then somebody, somewhere, would have to be the
least interesting person and would be placed at the end of the list. But
the fact that they're the least interesting person is in some sense
interesting, and therefore they should be moved to a higher place.

So: is it possible to construct such a list?
