Close enough to arbitrary. Just to add some context.
It's an art site. An artist is a category in a hiearchical tree. The artist
is related to a top level category, there are products related to the
artist. Each product as a "type", perhaps sculpture, or painting, or
drawings, for example.
What my client wants is that each artist displays the list of "types" in a
formation unique to them. One may be a sculpter first, and an painter
second, this, sculptures would take precedence over painting. He wants to
re-order them according to subjective importance.
