 Replying to [comment:27 ncohen]:

 down" or "B up"? I don't know.

 to be greater than the ones labelled with `(0,x)`

 You are right on that. On the other hand, somehow for `A.something(B)` it
 sounds natural to have `(0,x)` be element of A and `(1,y)` be element of
 B. From that I can deduce that `A.ordinal_sum(B)` should have elements of
 B of on "up" and elements of A on "down".

 Done this. I'll continue when he replies.
