The paper deals with three concepts of metrics on the sets of possibility distributions (in fuzzy set theory). One of them is based on \(U\)-uncertainty known from the literature (Higashi and Klir), others are based on the measure of (non)specificity and on the imprecision measure. The authors discuss and compare the properties of all three concepts. Namely, monotonicity, invariance under joint symmetry and expansibility (for both newly defined metrics), as well as the translation property (for the (non)specificity based metric) are verified. The main theorems show the validity of the metric axioms for both of them. In the conclusive discussion the new metrics are recommended as measures of the distance between ordered possibility distributions.
