What is known about what can be the smallest rank of a
non-well-orderable set in ZF?
I mean, of course non-well-orderabilty can begin with the set of reals
at rank omega plus1, the lowest rank where ZF does not obviously prove
well-orderability, But are there also models of ZF where all sets of
rank omega plus 1 are well-orderable, but not all sets of rank omega
plus 2? Are there any restrictions about the rank where well-ordering
first fails in ZF, besides that it must be above omega?
thanks, Colin
