We characterise a class of posets (which we call uniform posets) and deduce the following corollary. Define a poset P to have an ω‐ranking function if there exists a monotone increasing mapping from P onto ω Let D and E be posets with bottom elements. Then D × E has an ω‐ranking function if and only if either D or E does.
