Detail

is ordered amongst its siblings using key value
siblingKey
 
In a tree display, we need a "local" sort key to order SKOS Concepts amongst their siblings. The concept of "Sibling" is derived from the "Broader" relation (Concepts with a common Broader). The range type of this property is the most suitable for the ordering process: number, string, date, enumeration of values, etc. It is a "key" for ordering, not a rank.
A reasonable objection is that, in poly-hierarchies, siblingKey could vary depending of the Broader Concept involved: this simpler proposal assumes this is very rarely useful. This key is not used in other displays (descending usage frequency, alphabetical order of labels, etc.).
