"Stapleing" a relatively senior, voluntary furloughee to the bottom of a combined list likely would violate that requirement.
However, there is no requirement that they all be considered the same. That will be argued. They just can't be reordered.
Yes, I think for the purposes of SLI a "furlough" means an "involuntary furlough." Voluntary furloughs will be integrated as if on property.
