Let Q be the lexicographic sum of finite ordered sets Q x over a finite ordered set P . For some P we can give a formula for the jump number of Q in terms of the jump numbers of Q x and P , that is, s ( Q ) = s ( P ) + x P s ( Q x ) , where s ( X ) denotes the jump number of an ordered set X . We first show that w ( P ) - 1 + x P s ( Q x ) s ( Q ) s ( P ) + x P s ( Q x ) , where w ( X ) denotes the width of an ordered set X . Consequently, if P is a Dilworth ordered set, that is, s ( P ) = w ( P ) - 1 , then the formula holds. We also show that it holds again if P is bipartite. Finally, we prove that the lexicographic sum of certain jump-critical ordered sets is also jump-critical.

For some $P$ we can give a formula for the jump number of $Q$ in terms of the jump numbers of $Q_x$ and $P$, that is, $s(Q)=s(P)+ \sum _{x\in P} s(Q_x)$, where $s(X)$ denotes the jump number of an ordered set $X$.
