 """
-Set permutation on the inputs - sorted by key image on host.
+Inputs in transaction need to be sorted by their key image, otherwise the
+transaction is rejected. The sorting is done on host and then sent here in
+the MoneroTransactionInputsPermutationRequest message.
+
+The message contains just a simple array where each item stands for the
+input's position in the transaction.
+
+We do not do the actual sorting here (we do not store the complete input
+data anyway, so we can't) we just save the array to the state and use
+it later when needed.
