My idea how to fix it: ad1) Put all deployers to the same collection (not list per stage like current impl) ad2) on deployers chain retrieval * check whether sorting needs to be done (yes if deployers were added/removed to/from the chain from last getDeployersList() method call) * sort all deployers if change is detected only ad3) Return all deployers belonging to requested deployers chain (getDeployersList() method call) from sorted list of deployers NOTE: Sorting algorithm have to take deployment stages, inputs, outputs and relative order into account. Current algorithm based on comparing two deployers doesn't include all possible usecases and it ignores inputs and stages.
