Agrawal's ordering conjecture for extremal unordered triple arrays

From papers

Let UU be an (r×c,r+c1)(r\times c,r+c-1)-unordered triple array, let ee denote its mixed intersection parameter, and assume e>2e>2. An ordered triple array TT has underlying unordered triple array UTU_T.

Agrawal's ordering conjecture. For any (r×c,r+c1)(r\times c,r+c-1)-unordered triple array UU with e>2e>2, there is an (r×c,r+c1)(r\times c,r+c-1)-triple array TT with UT=UU_T=U.

This strengthens Agrawal's existence conjecture by requiring every eligible unordered triple array to be orderable. The paper states that it remains open, with computational evidence and special cases discussed later.
