So it looks like it is possible to brute-force the order of 12 words of a seed phrase. If it was 24 words, I would've been less sure, since that's even more possible combinations and would take in the magnitude of hundreds of thousands or even millions possibly.
Make that half a billion more possibilities.
12 words gives 12! = 479001600 possibilities.
24 words gives 24! = 620448401733239439360000 possibilities.
Half a billion times 115 minutes is a million years.
