Then tell the user his information is just a RDF dataset.

I would suggest to do that with named graphs. We are talking about a generic
triple editor and IMO most properties are not compatible with collections.

Of course, there would also be a "default graph mode" in the editor that does
not use named graphs and does not support ordering.

Named graphs can be queried via SPARQL. You can query the default (union)
graph where this information would be lost or the named graphs where it is
preserved semantically and publicly accessible.
