Half the planet gets it in one order, the other half in the other order. If a miner finds a block before getting the order correct they get orphaned by ~half of the other miners.

Rappidly broadcast two of the same transactions in opposite order from relay nodes on opposite sides of the planet, rinse repeat. Nodes have to constantly reorder wasting bandwidth.
