Ordered set notation in a simple case

Question

apologies in advance for the noob question. (Really rusty when it comes to order theory notation.)

Suppose I have a set $\Omega := \{\alpha,\beta_1,...,\beta_n\} $ (for some fixed $n\in\mathbb{N}$). I would like to succinctly express the following:

$\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad $ "$C$ is a subset of elements from $\Omega$ ordered in the following way:
$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad$ 1. If $\alpha$ is in $C$, then it is placed first.
$\quad \quad \quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad$ 2. All $\beta$'s in $C$ are placed in increasing order of their indeces."

I hope this is sufficiently precise; to help illustrate, here are a couple of examples of what I have in mind:
$\quad \bullet\ $ $C = (\omega, \beta_1,\beta_3)$
$\quad \bullet\ $ $C = (\beta_2,\beta_3)$

If there is no succinct, mathematical way to state this, then no worries! Thanks in any case.

Answer 1

The set $\Omega = \{\alpha, \beta_1, \beta_2, \ldots, \beta_n\}$ is ordered by $\leqslant$ where $\alpha \leqslant \beta_1 \leqslant \beta_2 \leqslant \ldots \leqslant \beta_n$.The sequence $C$ is a subset of $\Omega$ where the elements appear in the order given by $\leqslant$. For example $C = (\alpha, \beta_2)$ or $C = (\beta_1, \beta_3, \beta_6)$.

Answer 2

For the ordered set $(S,\le)$, A subset $A\subset S$ is an ordered subset with the inherited order $\{ (x,y) : x,y \in A, x \le y \}$.
The use of subscripts is not recommended.
