Not to mention that ordering for human browsing is usually completely unrelated to semantics. We're using JSON to express a 'manifest' that can be easily displayed as an ordered hierarchy, the ordering of branches and leaves performed and stored independent of the maintenance of the RDF. Nice to have you around, Jon Phipps http://metadataregistry.org
