Abstract: Over-then-Under (OU) tangles are oriented tangles whose strands travel through all of their over crossings before any under crossings. In this paper we discuss the idea of gliding: an algorithm by which any tangle diagram could be brought to OU form. Unfortunately, the algorithm is flawed. However, by analyzing cases in which it does succeed we obtain a braid classification result, which we also extend to virtual braids, and provide a Mathematica implementation. We discuss other instances of successful "gliding ideas" which appear in the literature - sometimes in disguise - such as the Drinfel'd double construction, Enriquez's work on quantization of Lie bialgebras, and Audoux and Meilhan's classification of welded homotopy links,
