We present a global consistency algorithm for the
lexicographic ordering constraint on two vectors of $n$ variables.
The algorithm maintains arc-consistency, runs in $O(n)$ time on
posting plus amortized $O(1)$ time per propagation event, and detects
entailment or rewrites itself to a simpler constraint whenever
possible. The algorithm was derived from a finite automaton operating
on a string which captures the relationship between each variable pair
of the two vectors.
