      1. Start a sharded replica set and shard a collection.
      2. Update the shards collection in the config database so the shards are in a different order 
        > db.shards.find({_id: "rs0"})
{ "_id" : "rs0", "host" : "rs0/host1.example.com:27017,host2.example.com:27017" }
> db.shards.update({_id: "rs0"}, { $set: { "host": "rs0/host2.example.com:27017,host1.example.com:27017" }})
WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 1, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 1 })
      3. Try to drop a sharded collection on the now-inconsistent shard - you should get 
        mongos> db.testcoll.drop()

      If there's a replicaset reconfiguration, so the order hosts are listed in the connection string changes, then mongos won't be able to find information about the shard, because it does a string comparison of the two connection strings instead of parsing them and comparing the items in the list.
