Only relative ordering matters for condorcet, not the absolute rank.

e.g., ranking A, B and C rank 1, and
              D, E and F rank 6
is exactly the same as ranking
e.g., ranking A, B and C rank 2, and
              D, E and F rank 3.

In both cases below, moving X down is moving X from the same rank as B
to a new rank between B and C,D. Presumably moving it down a second time
would merge the X and C,D ranks.

Personally, I found assigning ranks with the dropdown list to be
easiest. I first sorted them into approx 8 buckets (using ranks like
10,20,40,60,80,100 as buckets, although some ended up between two
buckets), and then sorted my highly ranked buckets (where "high" is the
end near 10).
