Description
For the W3C credentials, order is currently defined as follows:
An array of the claim name values that lists them in the order they should be displayed by the Wallet.
How is that supposed to work with nested claims in credentialSubject? Is this supposed to just list the claim names (ignoring hierarchy)? What about collisions?

Start by reviewing the W3C credentials definition of order and how nested claims in credentialSubject are represented. Clarify whether hierarchy is preserved and how duplicate claim names are handled; done means the metadata behavior is unambiguous for nested claims and collisions.
