We investigate the existence of well-ordered sequences of Baire 1 functions on separable metric spaces. Any set F of real valued functions defined on an arbitrary set X is partially ordered by the pointwise order, that is f ≤ g iff f(x) ≤ g(x) for all x ∈ X. In other words put f < g iff f(x) ≤ g(x) for all x ∈ X and f(x) 6= g(x) for at least one x ∈ X. Our aim will be to investigate the possibl...
