I didn't want to get into the Details of how this could be achieved yet, just
get an idea of if there is a broader recognition that this idea of ordering is
needed.

The schema:ItemList [1] gives another way of ordering things, where intermediate
schema:ListItem resources can be used to give some notion of order to the items
in the list without having to specify the position on the referenced resource.
This allowing a resource to be in multiple lists in different positions.
