Unfortunately, this assumes you know what all the techniques for the
skill are, and there aren't going to be any new ones. This is a shaky assumption at the best of times, and definitely isn't valid, for example, with craft skills where a technique in making a particular kind of object
is possible.
I was assuming that you would recalculate each time (e.g. by computer).
Even if you do know what all of the techniques are, this order can change
if you improve some of the techniques. This is also the case when you do
not know what all of the techniques are. (Note that recalculation is only
per skill; you need not recalculate all skills, although if you are using
a program like I wrote, it will recalculate everything each time anyways.)
However, there is another possible valid concern based on what you wrote,
which is that if you add or improve techniques it requires recalculation
which may be difficult or take some time. (However, I am assuming that you would not normally add skills/techniques during the game, but rather only between sessions. This is what I do, at least.)
