ACTION-43 Draft use case for ordering

My use case is something like this:

Bug tracking tools often have thousands of bugs reported.  Making a
request on these is often filtered down based on the state or
project/timeline associated with, but often ordered based on some
defined ordering: last modified, highest priority, status, creator,
etc.  Since RDF is unordered and the response may be split across
pages, there needs to be a way to indicate what the order is.
Otherwise, the client will have to discover the intended order by
other means and also if the response was split across pages responses,
it would be preferred to have member resources on the current page
based on ordering predicates that occur before those found on the next
page.

Note this is related to ISSUE-14 [1] and motivates its need.  I will
leave it to the editor's to tweak as needed, just wanted to get the
use case out there.
