any solidity libraries or general resources anyone can recommend for working with sorted list insertion / deletion?

i've seen a few for sorting arrays in memory and such, but not a whole lot for operating on storage in an effective manner

Here's what I'd suggest:

1. **Custom Implementation:** It's probably most efficient to roll your own sorted list using a combination of:
    * **Mapping:**  For quick lookups by key.
    * **Array:**  For maintaining order.
    * **Efficient Update Logic:**  Carefully handle insertion/deletion to maintain sorted order while minimizing gas usage.

2. **OpenZeppelin Libraries:**  While they don't have a dedicated sorted list library, their arrays and mappings might give you a good starting point. Check out their documentation: [https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/4.x/](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/4.x/)
