C
I got the question so wrong - I thought a|b and b|c would imply a|c so I went and used dynamic programming to propagate indirect relations through a table.
It worked beautifully but not for the input, which doesn't describe an absolute global ordering at all. It may well give a|c and b|c AND c|a. Nothing can be deduced then, and nothing needs to, because all required relations are directly specified.
The table works great though, the sort comparator is a simple 2D array index, so O(1).

Same, I initially also thought a|b and a|c implies a|c. However when I drew the graph of the example on paper, I suspected that all relations will be given, and coded it with that assumption, that turned out to be correct
