Abstract: For a fixed set $X$, an arbitrary extit{weight structure} $din[0,infty{]}^{XimesX}$ can be interpreted as a distance assignment between pairs of points on $X$. Restrictions (i.e. extit{metric axioms}) on the behaviour of any such $d$ naturally arise, such as separation, triangle inequality and symmetry. We present an order-theoretic investigation of various collections of weight structures, as naturally occurring subsets of $[0,infty{]}^{XimesX}$ satisfying certain metric axioms. Furthermore, we exploit the categorical notion of adjunctions when investigating connections between the above collections of weight structures. As a corollary, we present several lattice-embeddability theorems on a well-known collection of weight structures on $X$.
