Leapfrogging

After I checked in, I looked at the upgrade list. My wife was 6th and I was 7th. Seemed pretty terrible (like how many GS could there be?), but I'm now used to being unusually low on the list.

So now, a couple hours later, I look again. I've suddenly been upgraded, and my wife is still 3rd on the list, with the FC cabin booked to 18.

How the heck could I suddenly leapfrog in front of my wife who was originally listed ahead of me? BTW, I also seemed to have leapfrogged ahead of 2 other pax who were originally on the list in front of my wife, and they're still on the waitlist, too.

I just don't have any faith that this "blackbox" processes anything according to any rules.
I have had that leapfrogging happen to me. I was first on the waitlist after checking in, with 9 open seats in first and several folks behind me on the list. After refreshing the URL a few second later first showed fully booked with the waitlist behind me shortened. Yet there I was, still first on the waitlist. Black box indeed.
