We introduce the notion of echeloned spaces – an order-theoretic abstraction of metric spaces. The first step is to characterize metrizable echeloned spaces. It turns out that morphisms between metrizable echeloned spaces are uniformly continuous or have a uniformly discrete image. In particular, every automorphism of a metrizable echeloned space is uniformly continuous, and for every metric space with midpoints, the automorphisms of the induced echeloned space are precisely the dilations.Next, we focus on finite echeloned spaces. They form a Fraïssé class, and we describe its Fraïssé-limit both as the echeloned space induced by a certain homogeneous metric space and as the result of a random construction. Building on this, we show that the class of finite ordered echeloned spaces is Ramsey. The proof of this result combines a combinatorial argument by Nešetřil and Hubička with a topological-dynamical point of view due to Kechris, Pestov and Todorčević. Finally, using the method of Katětov functors due to Kubiś and Mašulović, we prove that the full symmetric group on a countable set topologically embeds into the automorphism group of the countable universal homogeneous echeloned space.
