Ordinal scales must establish transitivity (if "a" is greater than "b", and "b" is greater than "c", then "a" is greater than "c"), antisymmetry (if "a" is greater than "b", then "b" is not greater than "a"), and reflexivity (if "a" is equal to "b", and "b" is equal to "c", then "a" is equal to "c"). These properties ensure that the scale can accurately rank items in order.
