+1.

I think there are valid use cases for both scenarios. I think Raul's
proposal can be used for explicit ordering by introducing an index (and
there might be other intuitive ways). For example,

<container> ldp:order _:l1 .
_:l1 rdf:first _:event_2012-12-01 .
_:l1 rdf:rest _:l2 .
_:l2 rdf:first _:event_2013-01-14 .
_:l2 rdf:rest _:l3 .
_:l3 rdf:first _:event_2013-03-04 .
_:l3 rdf:rest rdf:nil .

IIUC, above can be represented something like

<container> ldp:containerOrder _:order
_order ldp:containerSortPredicate x:index
_order ldp:ldp:containerSortOrder ldp:ascending
_:event_2012-12-01 x:index 1;
_:event_2013-01-14 x:index 2;
_:event_2013-03-04 x:index 3;

I think Raul's proposal support both use cases. If we add something like
ldp:explicit as an ordering directive (ldp:containerSortOrder), may be this
proposal can even support Richard's proposal as is.
