    Moral order is the placing of one priority above another, e.g. in an ethic (or "absolute-sounding ethic" as some who promote politics say).

    In fact, people and trolls actually make moral ordering choices all the time. Almost any moral choice involves tradeoffs. For instance, if forced to choose between letting a child starve and stealing bread, most people would steal bread. This is an example of placing moral priorities in an order. It is a very simple and necessary concept and without it there is no ethics and all, and politics would not exist if we all agreed all the time on the right order in which to put moral priorities.
