Hi David, unfortunately, the order of values of a single metadata field is not defined. That said, I didn't encounter a case where DSpace would not preserve them in the order we put them in, but this can depend on several things including the underlying database. So you can just reply on that and see how it works out, but I wouldn't recommend it.
I think what I'd do is store an XML tree fragment with all the values belonging together into a single metadata field, something like this: <funder>The Funder</funder><grant-name>Grant Name</grant-name><grant-number>Grant number</grant-number><note>Note</note> Of course, you can still put in multiple such metadata values in case you have multiple funding sources. Unfortunately you're not using XMLUI, but in XMLUI it's trivial to extract and display the individual element values. In JSPUI, there would be an extra step but I guess a clever JSP tag would do the trick.
