(See also RDF lists, available through @inlist in RDFa, or @list in JSON-LD. These should be judiciously used, when the order is intrinsic and meaningful in itself.)

A useful approach for RDFa & JSON-LD but not much help for those applying Microdata, RDFa Lite, or maybe even harvesting the data into raw RDF.

I believe, to not force a format change (Microdata to say RDFa) to enable a sizeable community to use this, we need to define properties to describe ordering - in the same way that the additionalType property on Thing is there for the Microdata folks to do something that RDFa can do natively.
