A combinatorial property of rho-functions

We show that if $\mathcal{T}$ is any Hausdorff topology on ${\omega}_{1}$, then any subset of ${\omega}_{1}$ which is homeomorphic to the rationals under $\mathcal{T}$ can be refined to a homeomorphic copy of the rationals on which $\bar{\rho}$ is shift-increasing.
