This function determines the order of sibling pairs based on an outcome variable. The function checks which of the two kinship pairs has more of a specified outcome variable. It adds a new column named `order` to the dataset, indicating which sibling (identified as "s1" or "s2") has more of the outcome. If the two siblings have the same amount of the outcome, it randomly assigns one as having more.
