"Client libraries MUST retain the order of objects within an array." in JSON, and "Client libraries MUST preserve elements in document order." for ATOM and XML/CSDL.
We don't impose any ordering constraints around xml attributes or name/value pairs within JSON objects.
We don't imply any semantics around the ordering of elements within a collection (i.e., that the order of complex types within a collection is meaningful and MUST be preserved by the service).

Description

Terms often require lists of primitive or complex values in which the order of entries is significant, e.g. when defining a leveled hierarchy for data aggregation.

Making the order of child elements in a <Collection> element significant avoids the need of always using a complex type with a sequence property to express the order.
