Is this ordering a structural component of the thesaurus itself or 
additional display information instead?

The current definition of OrderedCollection states:

"Ordered collections can be used with collectable semantic relation 
properties, where you would like a set of concepts to be displayed in 
a specific order, and optionally under a 'node label'."

...so if I'm correct you can use an OrderedCollection without a label. 
Conceptually, you're defining a node label without a name, so there 
might be some worries there. Technically, this seems a working solution.

Mark.
