Speaking of "flip-flops" under ordinal judging, I really cannot see what the fuss is about or why this is considered an undesirable feature of a judging system -- so much so that we had to change the judging system, twice, because of it.
This is how flip-flops occur.
After five skaters, with one to go, here is the provisional ranking.
A
B
C
D
E
Now skater F performs. Although he did not skate well enough to escape last place, he did skate well enough to steal a couple of ordinals from D.

What is so terrible about that?
