[mb-users] Sorting sub-works and more generally ARs

Hello,

http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-3375 is more than 2 years old. It
seems it is stuck because nobody is sure how it should be implemented. I
feel many important things are clumsily patched (or not addressed at all)
because we lack ordering. I'd like to revive the discussion about this and
hopefully not have yet another schema change without it.

Here is my suggestion: add a simple number to ARs which could be used by
the AR types which we find relevant. This number would of course be used
for ordering.

Why not a string allowing for things like "2.1.5"? Because I am not
currently convinced that smart sorting on strings such as this would be the
correct way to handle sub-hierarchies.
