The order of the properties is not meant to be "display order"; we think systems should be able to bring in the data and do whatever is appropriate for a given display/use. In fact in RDF, maintaing order is not simple anyway.

I've stumbled over this in multiple projects, most recently some work on
Dublin Core Application Profiles. I think that in a true RDF environment
we will use semantics rather than order of data to express meaning.
Unfortunately, MARC leans heavily on order (as does ISBD, which it
supports) to provide meaning, rather than meaning to provide order. This
is one of the reasons why I am skeptical about the emphasis on
transitioning MARC as opposed to an analysis of what would work better
in the future. I understand the impetus behind the emphasis on MARC, but
I think it's something that we need to overcome if we are to make real
progress. My impression is that if every time we run into this "order"
problem we turn it on its head into a "meaning" problem, we will find a
solution.
