Let omega_1 be the first uncountable ordinal, same as the set of all countable ordinals. Let F be the set of all decreasing functions f from omega_1 minus singleton 0 into omega_1, that is f(alpha) < alpha for 0 < alpha < omega_1. Define a partial order on F by f <= g if f(alpha) <= g(alpha) for all alpha < omega_1. Let K be the subset of F, of functions with a finite range. Question: Is there an order-preserving homomorphism h : F -> K, i.e if f <= g then h(f) <= h(g), and with the additional property that f <= h(f) ?
