There is a poset constructed by combining in a certain way the usual order on the reals with any well-order on the reals (I can provide details if needed). I've heard it called the "Sierpinski Reals" and "The Leaning Tower of L'viv", but I do not see anything online when I search these names. Is this construction known by any other names?

These slides on Suslin lattice mention a Sierpinski poset, as does Theory of Relations by Roland Fraïssé.

Edit: Also the term Sierpinski tower such as mentioned in Random Walks on a Fractal Solid.

    The "Sierpinski poset" defined [here](http://books.google.com/books?id=R-jlxKxJma0C&lpg=PA72&ots=e98uvYVFl8&dq=%22poset%22%2Bsierpinski&pg=PA47#v=onepage&q&f=false) in Theory of Relations is indeed the one I was thinking of. Thank you.2012-01-20
