&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;ordinal_number&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ordinal number&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; - number assigned to each [[Glossary:Element|element]] indicating the designed ordinal position of the element in the [[Glossary:Collection|collection]]. Some collections are sorted by their &#039;&#039;&#039;ordinal numbers&#039;&#039;&#039; and this is the order in which they should usually be learned. &#039;&#039;&#039;Ordinal number&#039;&#039;&#039; comes with a [[Glossary:Collection|collection]], while the [[Glossary:Priority|priority]] is set for each [[Glossary:Element|element]] by the user using his or her own criteria. By default, &#039;&#039;&#039;ordinal number&#039;&#039;&#039; is set to the number of [[Glossary:Element|elements]] in the current [[Glossary:Collection|collection]]. This way, the first [[Glossary:Element|element]] you add will have the &#039;&#039;&#039;ordinal&#039;&#039;&#039; 2 (the [[Glossary:Root_node|root]] of the [[Glossary:Knowledge_tree|knowledge tree]] gets the &#039;&#039;&#039;ordinal&#039;&#039;&#039; 1), second element will get 3, etc. &#039;&#039;&#039;Ordinal numbers&#039;&#039;&#039; are useful in sorting the [[Glossary:Collection|collection]] or its [[Glossary:Element_subset|subsets]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The root in a newly crated collection has ordinal 0, whereas the first element added and all those following get ordinal 100. Either is SM behaving &lt;br /&gt;
 weird, or this explanation needs review&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
