An ordered taxonomy is a slice, where each element is an object that contains the term and a slice of its weighted pages.

Each element of the slice provides these methods:

`Count`
: (`int`) Returns the number of pages to which the term is assigned.

`Page`
: (`page.Page`) Returns the term's `Page` object, useful for linking to the term page.

`Pages`
: (`page.Pages`) Returns a `Pages` object containing the `Page` objects to which the term is assigned, sorted by [taxonomic weight](g). To sort or group, use any of the [methods][] available to the `Pages` object. For example, sort by the last modification date.

`Term`
: (`string`) Returns the term name.

`WeightedPages`
: (`page.WeightedPages`) Returns a slice of weighted pages to which the term is assigned, sorted by taxonomic weight. The `Pages` method above is more flexible, allowing you to sort and group.
