It has been widely noted that the original lexicographic ordering based on coordinates when \mathcal{S} is two-dimensional produces poor results.{{cite book|author1=Sudipto Banerjee|author2=Bradley P. Carlin|author3=Alan E. Gelfand|title=Hierarchical Modeling and Analysis for Spatial Data, Second Edition|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zNLhAwAAQBAJ|date=12 September 2014|publisher=CRC Press|isbn=978-1-4398-1917-3}} More recently another orderings have been proposed, some of which ensure that points are ordered in a quasi-random fashion. Highly scalable, they have been shown to also drastically improve accuracy.
